I hear you about the job thing . many ppl with bipolar can t work. about 2? years ago was fired and went on unemployment and was just off the wall and didn't think in would work again. I even started the SSDI process. I know from my records I would have got it without a doubt. slowly I got better and was able to handle the work force again (at a much less stressful place)
I don't know how long that will last of course. money hangs over my head being a single mom and also without something to ground me I tend to spin off my axis
Again....i could be telling a whole different story in 6 months. There is no shame in being unable to work
