Mercerspring,
I applaud you for doing what you need to do to take care of yourself. I remember when I first was getting back on my feet, I also did manual labor. The lower stress was exactly what I needed (stocked shelves at Walmart). I'm back to work as a nurse now, but I had to be on solid ground with my recovery (I'm a recovering alcoholic/weed addict) from the addiction and have a good med regime and therapy for the bipolar. My financial independence (as in no one is rescuing me from the messes of my own making) keep me accountable for my own recovery from addiction and mental illness.
What the recovery program has taught me is I am powerless over most things. Except my own self. I hope you're working with a support group for families of people with bipolar disorder.
Keep the faith.
* strew was to be stress.
Whoops
