I have a full time job that i love, but there is a lot of responsibility and sometimes it feels like pressure. I was forced to take a 6 month leave 2 years ago when i was hospitalized. Being off that long really affected my self-esteem, and i felt pretty lost. I went back early against medical advice, as soon as i was cleared to work. The structure keels me stable, and the work helps me focus on productive things so that i'm not in my head. I've only ever taken time out a few times when mood episodes were very severe. Most of the time i function highly at work, and appear very normal, even when i'm not feeling great.
