Hello Lillyleaf,

I wish you the very best in your career choice. Stephen Hawking is living proof that
anything can be accomplished. If you have what it takes, And are willing to pay the price.
Where I may be of a little assitance, is in the part of disclosing your condition.
Society in general, admires health, strengh, stability and wisdom. Among other things.
There are a lot of misconceptions as to what bipolar is. It is perceived as a flaw.
It's not something I would disclose unless is absolutely necessary. Just my .02.
