Before my BP really showed it's ugly head I had a job for 3 years, then worked freelance for...11 years?

Also, off and on at stores and cafes, but nothing steady until now really.

Going on 6 months at my new job, and it's going well. My boss knows everything though and we talk about adjustments when needed (got in there via a special job program for the disabled). I work 32hr weeks and it's okay because I have the flexibility to work from home if it's just really bad for some reason...and I also have the flexibility to give myself insane structure and block my agenda.

Not sure if it's long term going to work (because I'm a hot mess) because it's hard, and if I see how my family is with their BP, I know that this isn't going to work til I retire, but I will hold on as long as possible.
