I've been employed part time and in volunteer work for 10 years since my diagnosis, but any more than that sends me into an episode. When I up my work schedule I usually last 6 months before a hypo followed by depression or just straight crash into depression. I've tried to work other jobs numerous times with the same results. It really brings me down that I cant work more. Working full time in a job I enjoyed would be a dream for me, and will probably always be a dream. Its really hard not having much money and knowing I'll never own my own home or afford to commit to my hobbies. Im still recovering from my last work related depression crash 8 months ago, I think it spurred on my current condition.
