Mentally and physically exhausted. I’m at work and can’t do my job because I can’t stop crying from feeling so overwhelmed and not okay. Not suicidal, just can’t keep going like this. I really need some time off, but don’t know how to do so without losing my job. Been diagnosed with bipolar, major depression, generalized anxiety, and PTSD; my job exacerbates all of it. I’m a manger and can barely manage myself right now. I feel so desperate for help of some kind, but don’t know where or how to start. I have medical debt too, so going to the doctor will cost more than I can currently afford. I’m so lost

My meds are prescribed to treat similar symptoms Lefty. I'm not sure what I'd do if they were tampered with, even by the doctor. I'd be nervous for sure. You're brave for dealing with this, IMO.
If your friend knows about your situation she may understand what happened. Either way, I hope that you feel better and that she doesn't want to lose a good friend.

I hear you. I was thinking the same thing earlier, I was actually going to message one of my nephews and ask for help. Except I don't know how he could possibly help. I just wanted to tell someone I am not OK but don't know what possible good it could do. I need time off but taking the time off would have a domino effect financially, and then the diary pressure when I went back would totally negate any benefit of having the time off in the first place. I'm working every hour but the money seems to keep going down instead of up. I wish there was a way for both of us to get some peace or some help, or just some respite from the overwhelm. So sorry you are going through this sort of thing too.
We have an awfully similar experience right now, and I am also so sorry you have to go through this. I hope we can both somehow find some relief soon.
You perfectly described the work and money feedback loop we are feeling stuck in. Working nonstop to be left with no money is incredibly difficult, frustrating and discouraging. Having mental illnesses on top of that is another level of difficult.
I think I have reached a point where I have told people I am not okay so many times that they are used to it. It has simply never done much good because it can be hard for them to understand. It’s easier to talk to people here. But, when you’re around people you love, you want to tell them how not okay you are.
I feel like I’m rambling, but I hope we can find comfort in sharing a similar experience; knowing how overwhelming it feels.

Tonight is the night where the urges to sh are high. I am fed up with my husband sitting on the sofa all day, every day, taking a break!! 
While I work from the moment I wake to the moment I go to bed. I go into the kitchen to find no one has tidied up, so having worked for hours I am still the one clearing up after everyone else. Why does that make me want to sh? Because they make me feel like I am unworthy and just a slave to their needs.
it will take a lot of effort to not sh tonight. The thing is, I don’t want to make that effort.

I just left my therapist's office about 45 minutes ago. He told me I need to go to the emergency room when I'm feeling suicidal & can't keep myself safe. I don't want to do that. I really don't. I hate the hospital. I don't want to be misdiagnosed & given medications I don't need. Also, all they do is keep you locked up & watch you. Forget that!
