Oh yeah I forgot, one of my friends is teaching with bipolar now. She even got hospitalised halfway through her training. Ones a nurse, ones a psychologist, I work in health, we all have bipolar. My friend who hears voices all the time is teaching too.

Your not powerless in this . Figure out your early warning signs, monitor your moods, take sick leave if/when you need it and get whatever support you need. You'll be fine - I'm sure you'll be a great teacher.

Bring on a future without stigma . Good luck with your studies
