Just trying to get to know everyone What is your career..

I'm an activity planer, host and home school parent or just a stay a home mom. I swear I spend more time on the road then the average truck driver.

I'm a hospice certified nurse assistant. I take care of patients that are expected to live 6 months or less until they pass away. I love my job even though my disabilities can make it quite difficult at times. These patients deserve so much and I love being in the medical field improving the lives of so many people.

I'm in college currently pursuing a degree in electronics engineering... its very high stress and requires me to be high functioning, which as a bipolar person isn't always possible.

I'm a registered veterinary technician, well I was until may when I went out on leave again and they let me go. Don't know what to do now cause that was my dream job. I'm still registered so I could go somewhere else but I like the emergency hospitals and that was the only one here.

Lifestyle coach/Physical Activities Specialist one job and co manager of a native plant nursery on a preserve second job.

I work for a non-profit company that provides blood for area hospitals. I've been doing this for double digit years which is saying a lot for me. I never thought I was the typical BPD by bouncing around from job to job, but...I guess I am in a way. I've done so many things (and been recruited to be 'in charge' so often, much to my chagrin) that I used to say, 'If you knew Jack, I probably learned his trade.'

Currently, I'm a writer and have been as long as I can remember, but once I've finished something, I have absolutely no ambition...something every SO was willing to abide by. This one, is different and actually is trying to push me...but he's leaving in a couple weeks for good, so what's the point?

I love my job at the moment...I'm not shy around people and most of the time like meeting donors, even the crabby ones. I just feel sad for them because I know, it's quite possible they are suffering with the same issues we all are here. I hope to be here until I retire...and then move on to somewhere else.

Mom to two kids, one of whom has special needs, medical and developmental. This is the source of stress that has encouraged my little dormant seed of bipolar to blossom into the flourishing tree that it is now. Considering whether or not to go back to work part time in Molecular Biology research.

Interesting to read what you all do. Would be fun to swap lives for a while. I will swap with the coal miner for 1/2 hour, ok? :-)

I have my own travel company - working primarily with groups. When I am stable or hypomanic, it is awesome. I am so good at my job and I get really excited about booking individual and family travel as well as my groups. I spend money on marketing and advertising in the community and I really believe that I'm going to grow my business and be super successful.

Then I cycle into depression and it all seems very hopeless. I know I'm in a deep depression when I go on line and start looking for jobs. I convince myself that I'm not going to be able to keep my business going.

I have a wonderful assistant who understands my illness. She really takes over and manages things for me when I can't. She will come over and tell me exactly what to do. She looks over my shoulder if I have to book something, to make sure I don't make a mistake. She reminds me that his mood will pass and I will feel better again.

And that is what happens. The depression fades away and I can't remember why I felt so discouraged and everything seems exciting and I start making grand plans again.

It is exhausting, but I am grateful for the good times. I really do love what I do when I am able to do it.

That sounds like a reallllly cool job!

Well I've been bouncing around from job to job simply because I get bored or tired of fighting and dealing with people. While in college I did various job that ranged from customer service to office jobs. Once I graduated with my bachelors degree in biology and psychology, I worked in a lab for a short time before switching to teaching high school for a few years. Once I got bored with that I shifted to various customer service not really sure why I shifted from job to job that I was over qualified for, but I did.

Finally I went back to school in hopes of getting a degree in accounting to get my CPA licenses as I worked in a CPA office doing all sorts of things. However, i had a really bad episode that ended with an attempted suicide and a sting in a hospital. Since then I dropped out of school with a new fear of going to school. But the good news is that I've held my job for 5 years and still going strong. I'm currently working on getting my Enrolled Agent license while I still do tax work and small business consulting.

I've had a career of 21 years (US Navy) and a job of 19 years 11 months (at a school photography business but not as a photographer). Both were ended by my mental health issues. So now I'm retired and that's okay. Time to let the younger people do all the work.

I am a self employed arborist. An arborist is someone who cares for trees. My bipolar illness has always gotten in the way...when my mood gets too high I am prone to quit my job PLUS burn my bridges should I be unforturnate enough to have a run in with the boss/owner. Think this has happened about 5 times ... now I work for myself and trying to make a go of it...

I am an attorney who recently relocated from one state to another and had to take the Bar exam. Now I job hunt whenever I can drag myself off the couch long enough to do it.

Im a housekeeping supervisor at a ski resort part time. I just went back to work this year after 7 years off on disability and raising my three kids, who are now 14,13, and 12. I do have 2 college degrees that I have not been able to put to much use..yet.

Cleaning won't be my carreer I hope but after all the mania I am pretty good at it . Not really sure what direction I want to go but something in the travel tourism industry since that is where my education is. Was just watching the flight attendants on my trip and thinking well gee...that looks pretty good. But I couldn't handle being away from my kids so much.

My dream is to own and operate a small boutique inn. But I'm a little lacking in the $$. So for now I am just focusing on athletics and making that my goal instead of worrying about a carreer. Who says you can't become an athlete at 34??

Heard of the short bus?

I drive it!

I'm a common factory worker. Been there for about 2 and a half years now. We put paper pieces in "feeders" that shoot them out onto the production line, which moves them down to get wrapped in plastic and sent out of the machine onto a conveyer belt, where the person designated as "Line Leader" makes sure they're sealed and that the quality is good, then takes them, puts them in boxes and puts the boxes on a pallet.

We get paid by "piece rate", so basically we get paid by how many pieces we make. So, if the machine is down a lot or the people on it suck at their jobs, or maybe the salesman just decided to be a ****, you're not going to make very much money.

Currently IT Tech support. Hate it. Have also done security and sales. Hate it. I loved when I was self employed.

I've been a chef, technical manager of a food factory and lecturer at university until 6 years ago now I don't work

I was a 911 dispatcher for 6 years. I made a great deal of money and amazing benefits... Til one day, I thought it would be a great idea to quit that career, move 400 miles from home, go to beauty school... Now, I am a waitress.

I worked 12 hour night shifts for 3 years from 1997-2000 for the police in my home town, answering the police phone and 911. (Small city of 10, 000 people). No problem sleeping only 3 hours a day beginning at 9 am. :-) Now I'm unemployed on disability.

hello, currently unemployed

unemployed right now. Hoping to continue my career in law - - am waiting to hear about a potential job as in-house collections attorney after the first of the year.

I'm a receptionist.

I wanted to be a lawyer/therapist etc.

Now I want to go quasi-into law and work in human resources. I more or less want to learn about laws that deal with social welfare.

I currently work at a group home and I work the overnight shift.
