I'm 32 years old and haven't worked in 6 years due to my bipolar. Every job I go for says I was great at interview and not really got an issue with the bipolar. But when challenged about working night shifts I couldn't do cause I took a sedative. It wouldn't be fair on the work to say I could manage if I couldn't.

I volunteer though and that's tough at times as I struggle to leave my bed or sleep or get motivated. Some days I can manage really well other days I just can't
