I work full-time, and don't have many difficulties whether I'm medicated or not. Like Curiosity, I'm very high functioning. It "helps" that I grew up in an emotionally void family where it was ran like a business - I wasn't really able/allowed to demonstrate my emotions, and I learned to hide them very well.

Most of my symptoms aren't visible - I'm more the racing-thoughts-babbling-alot-going out lots-over-achieving kind of hypomanic, and my depressions? Well, they're awful but I can drag my butt out of bed and do the minimum required. My productivity and quality of my teaching goes down, and I might end up with more sick days being taken, but overall I can get through it.

It's a high-stress job, but teaching at least gives me some control over what I do day to day... so if I just need to give them more silent reading for a bit to relax myself, I do. Or if I want to play same games instead of something else, then we will.
