Do you have trouble keeping a job due to bipolar? Having 4 children I mostly stayed home. I have worked over the years and didn't keep jobs to long but I don't think it was due to my BP. I wanted to walk off jobs due to getting very frustrated or angry, but mostly I just didn't like working lol.
My BP daughter is on the verge of losing another job. She gets manic and impulsive add in her poor judgment and the fact she'd rather do other things and she calls off. She has lost several jobs due to this.

Yes. I have no children and no husband and have held multiple jobs that never stick. At this moment my hands shake so bad the thought of a job would be laughable. The thought of venturing out of my house with my light sensitive eyes to hold down a volunteer job seems overwhelming but possible.

I've had three jobs in the past year alone, and just lost one last Friday. That's probably because I think I'm more capable than I really am and I overreach. I also have trouble with attention span and short-term memory.
