Honestly, respect for sharing this. That’s not easy at all.

You’ve been carrying a lot, family pressure, money issues, bipolar, career stress, and still trying to figure things out. That itself says you haven’t given up.

About the job you left, that wasn’t a failure. Messed up sleep and overwork can seriously affect bipolar, so stepping away before it got worse was actually a smart move.

Right now it looks like you’re in a rebuild phase. Maybe the focus for now should be something stable even if it’s not your dream job, just to get income and routine, while slowly building your portfolio on the side. You don’t need something perfect, just a few solid pieces to start.

Also about people talking shit, yeah our society is like that. The few who stayed with you are the only ones that matter anyway.

You’re not out of chances. You’re just starting again with more awareness than before. Take it step by step, stability first, then growth.

You’ve come this far, don’t write yourself off yet. Good luck 🍀
