I don't have your Dx but it's a challenge for all of us when we jump from part-time to full-time. I just did so myself this past month and I am SO fatigued. But I also feel really productive and good about it.

You just have to be careful to do your self care when you need it. Stay on your meds, see your doctors and not miss appointments, know your triggers, and really stay on yourself to practice self care and use your coping strategies when you're in the work place.

I think it's absolutely possible, but I would also say make sure it is the RIGHT job and the RIGHT fit. Something that will work for you with your disability. It's so difficult to come back if you try to go full-time in the wrong job with the wrong employer and then quit or get fired...coming back the second time around is even more challenging because of the added self doubt and feeling of failure.
