Hi Gibby,
I really feel for you and can attest to many of the traumas you are going through. One thing that many have told me is that while there is a huge room full of stuff we have to claw our way through, we have to pick it apart one item at a time.
I myself suffered from manic depression for many years. I still have my really 'off ' days where nothing seems to make sense, but with a little prayer and deep breathing exercises, I can slow down the overwhelming feelings.
I realise your workplace seems very daunting, but surely there must be an HR department that you can seek advice from. They are there to help resolve internal workplace issues. If the problems you are experiencing are not dealt with, then you can talk to Workplace Australia and have your issues discussed in a bigger arena.
I also feel your plight regarding your mum. At least she is on your side where it comes to support.
It's good to see that you have a handle on your finances. It's a slow process, but again, take each step at a time.
Good luck with everything.
