Hi,
For those that work, what type of work do you do? I'm a business analyst/project manager and have continuously worked since I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 10 years ago.
Have you found certain jobs easier/harder to work with bipolar? What do you find to be the most challenging?
For me, just getting out of bed and going to work when I'm feeling depressed. Luckily i work for a large corporation that covers 3 months FMLA/disability ever 12 rolling months so I can take off a month if needed or time off when I'm manic and hospitalized. I'm pretty lucky to have that benefit.
