I worked a night time office cleaning job with my husband for quite a few years and he covered for me when I was hospitalized. During the difficult years there is no way I would have been able to keep another type of job.

I still work that job now and I do well with it because I am completely alone when I work. Since I've gotten stable on medications, I recently got another part time job which is merchandizing for a greeting card company. That job is slightly more stressful for me but it's only a few hours per week. Both jobs are flexible hours, so I can go in when I feel ready, and that is huge for me.

I don't think I could handle a full time job. Stress is a big trigger for me. I only cross my fingers that everything is going to stay stable. I want to be able to work.
