I can relate to how you are currently feeling. I too have been fired because of my bipolar disorder. Unfortunately, I had not been diagnosed for bipolar but only for major depression. As a result, I was either a manic maniac or debbie downer, with very few stable periods, and totally without a clue.

I admire your tenacious spirit. It shows that, with help from your doctor, and with the proper meds you will be able to handle anything thrown at you. Put your concerns out of your mind and walk in expecting to wow them from day one.

You should be so proud that you are continuing to work. In my case, I got so sick that I was forced to go on disability in 2003. It took two doctors and multiple drug cocktails before my illness was stabilized about 5 years ago. I am in the process of returning to school to pursue a degree in Social Work. When I receive my Masters, I plan on counseling those with mental illness in a faith based environment.

Good luck to you and please wish me luck as well. I am really nervous about this first step back to sanity.
