I don't see too much detailed discussion on here about employment etc., which is such a big part of life - whether you have it or not...

1. I work in Healthcare.
2. I enjoy helping people. But it also pays the bills and I now have benefits.
3. I have a side photography business. I sometimes do photography to trade for a service or volunteer for a charity I work with.
4. Shift work can be brutal for bipolar snd bpd. I have to make sure I get enough sleep and take care of my body. Take my meds etc. Sometimes I have to take cat naps randomly because of shift work and the role I have in my family.
But working is good for my mental health because I don't feel useless. It gives me another purpose.
