I'm also bipolar and its hard for me to get a job. When I'm in my manic mood I'll act very irresponsible and do very dumb things which would get me fired easily from a job, when I'm in my depressed mood I get angry so easily, thats when I have a very trashy mouth and being hostile wanting to hurt the person that I'm angry with, then later on I'll feel real depressed about myself and then I get urges to hurt my self by cutting or burning. My mom signed me up for social security benefits and sent in a bunch of paperwork of my psychological state from pre-school throughout high school and SSI set an appointment with me the other day for a mental exam and the worker that was doing the testing on me agreed with my mom that I'm in no shape to work with my condition. So right now I'm just waiting for the response back to see if I'm accepted which I'm hoping that I am.
