Perna, you must be married or have another source of income somehow to be able to take and quit jobs on a whim and work part-time. I'm my sole support, so that doesn't work for me, and I'm told I'm "not seriously ill enough" (according to the disability people) to qualify for disability. (I'd be happy to let them live a day in my brain and then reassess!)

My experience in 20 years or so in the full-time working world is that bosses only allow you a "pass" for your mental illness up to a point. Eventually they start viewing it as an excuse, regardless of whether it really is, and regardless of how functional you really are. I don't know any good way around that.
