This time last year I was balancing a fulfilling job, and being a wife and mother to 5 school-age kids. Then... the episode hit in February this year (my 3rd manic episode in 10 years).
I've had to leave work because as I claw my way back to "normality", I only have energy for my kids. And not even that sometimes.
But I'm aching with grief for the job I left, even though I know this decision is crucial for my family.
Has anybody else left work due to BP? Or had to choose between work and family?
