Hi -I'm new here but will jump in anyway. I'm 55 years old and have been continuously employed since I was about 23. I generally stay in a job just under 10 years, either due to circumstances or because that's about all the "dookie" I can eat.

So it's possible. I was diagnosed bipolar 2 at age 37 so I had about 15 un medicated years in the workforce. (lots of weeping in the women's john in those earlier years!)

It can be done.
