My Bi Polar has interfered with my working life with existing employers but I have never until now had to deal with telling potential employers my situation. I have been on disability for several years and would dearly love to go back to work even on a part time basis, however now I have to explain many gaps and short lived jobs on my CV and that is a challenge.

Tread carefully, look for a company that states it has an anti discrimination clause towards those with a mental health disability, however avoid telling them at all costs that you have Bi Polar unless of course you are compelled by law to inform the relevent employer for a specific job.

In my case I rapid cycle so I know that it will interfere in the short term so I would indicate that I have a condition that needs attention and that I may need flexibility in hours at times.

Good Luck, some are very understanding but be careful.........
