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

I worked as an assistant manager at a shoe store and absolutely hated it. I just started a new job at a group home and love it. By far it has been my favorite job. All the kids are so unique and I haven't had any issues at work yet. The only thing that was nice about my old job was that my boss was bipolar and knew about mine. At my current job, I don't think it would be a good idea to disclose. As far as other jobs, I've had quite a few diverse ones, sushi chef, sports writer for a newspaper, the list goes on. So many people I know have had the same job forever. I usually get bored or too stressed out after a month. So far, the group home has kept me entertained and sane.

In the past I've done retail sales, call centers, outside sales rep for ADT, IT support group leader and trainer for various Internet providers, medical transport driver for the mentally challenged, loved that job I had to sit in with them during doc visits and report to their social worker.

Currently I work for a Hospital as a IT tech support, since it's in house and medical I get to work with a lot of doctors and nurses. We trouble shoot pc issues and also help them with applications and programs they use. We see it all ED and L&D keep us hopping. I work over nites so I don't actually ever see any big wigs around here.

There are a lot of people here in the medical field!

Yes, it's amazing how many bipolar people work in the healthcare fields. What I DON'T understand is why healthcare workers as a group are so prejudiced toward people with MI....we're the ones who are supposed to be knowledgeable about such things.

I work for the water company. I'm a jack of all trades and one they trust to run certain microbiological tests right and "grade" other peoples work to discover what they are doing wrong. Of course I'm getting paid to go collect water samples and not run them but I want to be a microbiologist for a water utility as my career.

School........

I work in retail. I'm a jack of all trades because I get bored and go out of my way to learn new things. I can run registers, sell things from all departments, fix computers, manage the money, manage some associates, teach people how to do things, troubleshoot all kinds of problems, etc. I'm getting bored now though so thinking about going back to school for something it related since it seems to be always changing less likely to get bored.

I'm a dust collector. I'm useless. I quit my job (that required no skills or college ed) in my 8th mo of pregnancy 15 years ago.

I write humor. Har dee har har....but kinda hard when I am in a depressed state. I would like to write a humorous book about depression. What do you think?

I'm a nurse practitioner. My focus is on mental health and primary care for youth.

I think that's funny...

I own a Telecommunications Consulting business.

Currently unemployed, but I'm planning on going into music performance and education. I'll probably do a freelance mix of both. I want to play in huge symphonies, prestigious string quartets, play solos, and teach cello on the side.

I was a retail manager for 25 years until a Human Resources job dropped in my lap. I absolutely loved it and I was GOOD at it.
But...I had a meltdown at work one day and almost ended it all. I haven't worked since, I'm on disability.
Trying to be stable for a good amount of time before I go down the career path again, but I really don't know if that will happen. I actually really do miss my job.

I work at a museum. I basically do floor work and look after the art work/ artefacts on display as well as deal with the public. Interesting to begin with, but the public can be difficult to deal with sometimes, plus I'm bad at remembering dates and information about objects.

Manager of Organizational Development until I was laid off in November although I've been on disability since my meltdown last March.

I'm a hairstylist and have been for 36 yrs.

i was a person who managed and troubleshot mainframe computers. i also was a Software Engineer writing communications software used between networked computers. When I was hypomanic, I was able to "pull rabbits out of my hat" for employers with difficult computer problems. When I was depressed, I was lucky to just make it to work. Now I am on disability wanting to go back to work.

I'm in customer service/accounting for a local Anheuser Busch Distributor. It keeps me busy!

CPA, accredited in 1989 (gee, I suddenly feel old)

Special ed teacher. I teach high school English in a private school for emotionally disturbed kids with behavior problems.

For example today I had to reprimand a student for drawing an impressively detailed picture of a vagina on her worksheet. I mean, she did the work too, so...

im an rn and a registered health information technician (RHIT) aka medical coder.

Part time clerk in a library and I LOVE it! I eventually want to work full time in a library setting, but it's really competitive. I wasn't able to finish my degree due to bp/anxiety issues, so my options are limited on what's available for full time library work, but I really want it. I've been in my current position for 2 1/2 years (since about 6 months after I left school).

I'm a publicist

Served in the USAF as a communications specialist for 22 years, then did the same thing as a civilian for 6 more. Very high stress job with short notice requirements, impatient customers and lots of bureaucracy. Bipolar brought that to an end two years ago. Have been on disability since. Been looking at selling my photographs or creating stuff to sell. That way I can stick to my own schedule.
