I can't go back to teaching either as I was hospitalized and resigned in lieu of them firing me for having to be in the hospital. There is an off the record black list in my state which I'm now on due to that. The lawyer I had wasn't really looking out for me...didn't realize I wasn't really competent to sign any sort of legal agreement or resignation at the time.

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.
