my career was in law enforcement. my issues did not play into it. if anything they helped. now I work part time in retail (I am retired on disability). I loved the chaos & fast moving aspect of policing. same for the chaos of retail. I also did public speaking.


as far as which career is a good fit...it totally depends on the state of your condition, type of condition and your personality . if you are not out going then regardless of your mental health, you will not fair well in a position that requires you to be. some handle stressors for those positions well, others not. me, I would go nuts working at an office job pushing paper all day. did that as part of my position (hiring/firing/ budget etc) hated it. much happier out in the field.
