Although I am not dx'd as bipolar, I struggle so much with getting and then keeping a job. Sure I've been fired but I've also quit a lot, too.

I'm the type that is very good at my job, but when I screw up, I screw up BIG TIME. So then they fire me. Either that or a lot of the time my days run into each other and I have a hard time figuring out what day is what...and then I stay home thinking it's an off day when really I'm supposed to be working...then again I get fired.

Sometimes I will get so overwhelmed with working that I have to quit. It's very frustrating, too. I think my longest job has been 6 months or so. If I need to quit a job or am fired, I usually have become suicidal, too.

Like for some reason, I start to get suicidal after only 1-3 months of working. I don't even have a clue why, either. So, of course, I quit that job. I think I've only had one job that I didn't quit, wasn't fired, and didn't get suicidal at...it was a seasonal job so I had to find another job for the winter but it was really nice.
