Unfortunately my experience isn't a happy one.

But remember this is just my experience.

Many Bipolar people certainly can and are successful in their careers.

I've been fired / dismissed 3 times.

Currently unable to teach due to some destruction at my last school that I can't bounce my way out of or undo, right now anyway.

So.

I'm unemployed.

However, I've recently started my own business in the interim as I could not find a teaching job this year.

From a mental health point of view I can't disregard the fact that at some time, at some stage, I would like to re-enter the teaching profession.
