Thankfully I've never been fired but have had to leave two jobs in the last two years. One they just kind of kept me on leave of absence until I resigned. The other I tried to go back to after a manic episode and fell back apart within just a few days. I resigned. I just now am feeling kind of like myself again after that episode over the summer. I filed for SSDI in August and got approved in November. Haggling over LTD from employer now but think it will go through. ONE YEAR term limit on mental health conditions. How kind of them. I'm hoping to be better before that but honestly I don't know if I'll return more than part-time in foreseeable future given how the last couple years have been. Dx is Bipolar 1 Mixed with rapid cycling.
