I just wanted to ask: of the people who are listing themselves as self emplyoyed in this topic, what is it that you do?

Bipolar has really interfered with my ability to hold and perform at most jobs. I'm currently unemployed and struggling with motivation at the moment. But I would love to give freelance design/illustration another try.

I really need the autonomy. Because my moods are already pretty out of control, when my work schedule is also out of my control, it's only harder.

I really need the freedom to work and rest when I need to. Because working regular day jobs burns me out to no end.
