I am 36 and bipolar. I was diagnosed back in 2005. I have NEVER been able to keep a job. I would be lucky if I could maintain a job for 9 months. My husband doesn't understand and blames me for all of our financial difficulties. I so depressed about our money issues that I tried to kill myself earlier this year. I have applied for social security disability three times and have been denied all three times. I am depressed, sad and tired of being blamed by my husband. I've been on the INTERNET to see if their were other bipolar's like myself who have had trouble keeping a job, because I was curious to see if this was a characteristic of being bipolar. Does anyone on here have the same issue as I do? I just don't understand why I can't keep a job.
