Which one is it?
Here's a quick backstory of what's been going on...I had my baby in November, I was diagnosed with post partum psychosis which is different and more severe than post partum depression. I haven't worked since April because I was laid off so, my SO and I decided I would collect unemployment throughout my pregnancy and stay home. I finally started intensive therapy and got my medicine right for the first time since giving birth. My SO hasn't said anything about finding a job until recently. This past Wednesday, he asked me if I was going to "start pounding the streets looking for a job?" I said yes and I have been looking and applying for part time jobs but the reality is, I suffer from Bipolar 1, PTSD, Anxiety and depression. I can't keep a job longer than a few months. So, the thought of working brings major anxiety. My counselor suggested applying for longterm disabilty but said its a lengthy process and not to count on receiving benefits for a year. I told my SO this and he said to apply but in the meantime, I need to work. Yesterday, he called me and asked what I was doing, I said applying for jobs. He replied "dont stress about finding a job." Im so confused, which one is it? Find a job or no? How do I approach this situation? What would you do?
