Just wondering if any of you have experienced cognitive decline to the point where you have to change jobs. This is happening to me now. I'm trying to find something a bit simpler that I can enjoy/tolerate for the next twenty years.

Also I was reading this article on cognitive decline in bipolar. It's quite good.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...polar-disorder

I'm not sure if it's the illness or the antipsychotics but I really can't go off the APs without relapsing. Generally I'm euthymic though so I don't think its a mood issue for me.

Mostly my memory and overall comprehension of new material is failing, better to learn something new before it fails entirely. I'm leaning away from science and toward IT help desk but even that is challenging.

Just wondering what your experiences have been...I don't think I'm alone in this....
