My benefits have been granted right up until 2015, so I'm not sure if I'll actually class myself as unfit for work for that length of time (I've tried working when declared unfit for work before, which didn't go well. What I class as unfit for work and what my psychiatrist classes as unfit for work are two different things).

He's already taken on more staff since I've left. Apparently, in his words, I do the same amount of work as three staff. I'm unable to take that as a compliment, though I'm sure the hypomania will! I'm unaware if the job is still there for me, but we have a very close bond (he was going to fund my university course for the pharmacology degree he got me interested in).

All I do these days is try to decide what path I'm going to follow. I've even been considering returning to do my IT Technician qualification as that is where my passion lies. But I've kinda relealised there's not much point trying to do a job I'll be happy in as the education costs will be phenominal and I am unable to rely on myself to be stable.
