In group the other day the counselors said to someone depressed who wanted to get a job that they can't wait until they get better to apply to a job otherwise there's a chance they won't ever start applying to jobs. Now for the past month or so I've been depressed and the past three days been hypomanic and my seasonal job just ended so I'm out of work again. Now should I do what they told the other person and just go for it or should I wait to be stable? Now in the past I've lost a lot of jobs within a month of being hired because of being out of control manic or too depressed to go to work. There's a lot of places I wish I were working right now but can't go back because I've been fired.
I have a list of places to apply to, but I'm not sure if I should apply and either **** up an interview or get fired because that's just where I am. But on the otherhand I could be waiting to get better for months and work and having a regular routine will help me get better. IDK man, what do I do?
