As I come off of what might have been a manic episode, or some kind of a mental breakdown that was pretty rough, I am faced with the possibility of leaving one part-time job, and sticking with another. I'm a part-time reporter, and an adjunct professor.

The reporter job has given me too much stress (this is my first non-freelance journalism job in years) that I've been losing it. I just got my hours reduced (so thankful!) but it appears clear that I may have to leave it. Which leaves with just the adjunct job, which pays well, but not enough to make a comfortable living. I could resume freelancing, but I have ways to go to build that up. I am considering a PT job at a law firm and fulltime research work.

Which leads to my question: what kind of work do you guys do? Has having BP effected it in anyway? If so, did you have to leave it, take a leave of absence, or even go on disability at one point? Did you ever tell your boss?

Any info is much appreciated, and for other posters too!
