I never thought I'd be able to do it considering the thoughts and the emotional swings I'm going through. My mother was worried because they last time I worked these many hours before I almost put myself into a coma with alcohol back last year in September. This time it has been better but people at work are saying how tired I really look. Honestly I almost lost coIntrol of my emotions on one 12 hour shift for at least 5-10 minutes almost bursting into tears then I was happy again. I'm doing my last 6 hours of work tomorrow. That's the 6th day in a row that I've worked. I've done 4 12 hour shifts and 2 6 hours shift. It was risky but glad to say I can give myself a pat on the back. It is possible to work when mentally ill but all I can say is be very careful on your emotions and try to be professional. It wasn't easy..it was very hard for me. All I can say is just soilder on.

Black Rose. Hi. I'm in Real Estate and construction. Also own but currently not operating a self storage biz. Called Storage Depot. Bought the land adjacent. But have yet to fence it in to have outdoor storage. For boats motorhomes cars.

I'm in different phases of construction on my projects. 2 homes still need kitchens.
2 need carpet. One needs tile.
One needs doors baseboards side moulding and crown moulding.
One needs sewer hook up and interior paint. All are properties I own. So the schudule is based on my bipolar and how well I'm controlling it.

Thanks for asking.
