You have value.
Bipolar doesn't matter. You have aptitude and a college degree.
Go for what you want.
If it ever gets too much for you,leave on your own terms.
I've dealt with bipolar for over 35 years.
I ran successful businesses. I was an independent contractor for years.
When I go ip and it seems hopeless,I just start again when I can.
I can say I've done more, made more $ and had more progress than anyone I know and they don't deal with bipolar issues.
You can too.
