I have recently left about 3 jobs in the past year and a half. In the past three months I got the diagnosis of bipolar 1 which really puts in perspective why I left ( crashed from mania to depression.) so being currently unemployed I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for getting back to work. How do did you know you were ready to start working again? What do you do at work to help control your disorder? How do you handle the stressful days and interactions with co workers? Did you have to change jobs to help control it? Ect. Any tips would be helpful I feel somewhat useless not working and like a failure because I can't hold down a job right now.
