I wanted to find a group of people online who "get it" because I feel like bipolar is a mental health issue that still has a lot of stigma around it (even though I "came out" about it on my blog, which is public).
I work from home and honestly, that's probably the best thing for me because I'm a freelancer (editor) and can control my hours. I think I would not be able to handle a FT job outside the house right now.
I'm only on lamictal but on 200-300 mg.

Hi Ali! Welcome! It's great you work from home. I had a FT job just recently and could not handle it, between, family, work, kids...
Unfortunately there is stigma though lots of organizations are trying to change that. (Look up: "No Kidding! Me Too", "NAMI") lol too new to insert links yet
How's Lamictal working? I heard great things, but got a rash at a very low starting dose. My son also
