I'm just curious, are you no longer able to work due to bipolar? What became difficult to not be able to work?
I've been laid off 3 times and was on unemployment each time. During those times I became so depressed that I thought I would never be able to work again so I applied for SSDI twice during two different periods of depression. I was awarded SSDI both times first try (without a Lawyer) but I decided to work both times. i have very severe bipolar I so getting approved was not hard for me. I've been hospitalized over a dozen times in the past 10 years.
For me, working from home has helped me a lot to work while having bi polar.
No judgement on those that can't work, I was initially posting in regards to what jobs people do work while having bipolar. I've read that some jobs are better than others for people with bipolar.

Can no longer work, so I'm on SSDI. I do help my husband run his online book store, which he's done for twelve years. For me, that involves typing.
