I think everyone feels like that at some time bipolar or no. Just being bipolar makes you more aware of it where other people might put that on the back burner and ignore it. What matters is you know you're doing a good job. Living for someone else's approval never ends well (though it is of course nice to get someone else's praise or approval from time to time).

Edit: Though it does sound like they're putting you through the ringer at the moment.
Thanks for this!
