Hey folks. Just signed up for the forum. I'm a full-time freelance writer. Curious: How many people here are freelancers? And of you freelancers, what do you do?

And, more importantly... how do you deal with the uncertainty and stress that comes with being freelance? Sometimes I deal with it alright... and sometimes my deadlines (or even little things, like being asked to do new tasks by clients or collaborators) just break me.

Only got diagnosed with Bipolar-II a month ago... and while it's reassuring to know that the disorder is part of why I respond to work stress so badly, I'm not sure what accommodations I need to start making in my career to keep my episodes from getting too bad.
