I fell asleep at a job bc I underestimated the strenght of a muscle relaxer. I was out cold with my head in front of the keyboard. The worst thing ever is that I drooled hahaha. The next day my coworkers covered my desk in a plastic table cloth.
But, seriously as a person with bipolar I my work history was hella crazy. I actually have a MBA am still contacted by head hunters and have great letters of referral. The caveat being stress makes me manic and when I go manic I become an incompetent employee. I've literally redone the same spreadsheet for days, thought every single company mtg was a plot against me and my welfare, believed I had control over our stock market price - you get the picture. At first I could leave before the mania went full blown, then I was laid off 2x in 3 yrs. My last gig was a Business Analyst at General Electric. There is no way in hell I could ever do that today. Disability also comes with health care. I worked for a company that paid my insurance, and the cheapest quote I could get as a bipolar was $600 a month for catastrophic bs that covered 20% on meds & appointments. It was a state health insurance for people who are denied coverage from every single other provider like blue cross etc. #Go Obamo Care.
