One of the things I tried was vocational rehab, which is a state govt. sponsered thing that can help you determine what modifications you need to succeed at work and then they supply you with equipment (they tested me for a laptop to help but the company I was working for made it difficult to actually do that), they provide job training for you to do something else, etc. It's called slightly different things per state, here it is really called Rehabilitation Services Commission; I call it what I knew it as in the state where I first learned about it. But they have lots of things they can provide and you can self-refer. It's worth a shot since it can never hurt; it actually helped me in the long-run as they felt I was past the point of being able to work. If I insisted on working they provided some education for my supervisors. But when I did apply for SSDI 4 years later I had evidence that I'd been through that program and SSDI had been recommended that long before. Not that you'll wind up on disability, I just mention it because they couldn't help me but they did in the long run just by documenting I was hopeless (how it felt at the time although both my therapist and psychiatrist agreed I was not done working yet at that time). I got SSDI approved in the shocking time period of 3 months instead of years so I think it did help.

For me the key to working was constant self-monitoring. I was able to adjust my schedule to some extent which made a big difference, but mostly I tried to be constantly aware of my mood and how that was affecting things and very aware of when I might need to take time off. (My therapist and psychiatrist helped with that too). I tried to be very aware of when I needed a PRN pill to help me get through a day and when I might need to take a few minute break. I worked in high stress situations and that wasn't ideal but it was what I was trained to do and what I loved so I did it. I know I had other tricks but I honestly don't remember and thinking back is too painful. Having to quit working was by far the worst thing this illness has done to me.
