Saddest thing for me is that I can't work (at least as things stand) and I feel so unaccomplished.
BTW, I have bipolarII, mixed in with several other things. I struggled all through my masters degree by finally made it. I had several jobs but kept quitting and ending uo sick or in hospi.
My last job was amazing, I just loved the work but the mood instability caused me to do strange things at work- hiding under the table when panicky, crying at meetings and becoming vegetative during depressive spells and then arguing aggressively with my boss and collegues during hypomania. My boss was great he even gave me time off . But that didnt help. I just was not productive. It killed me to have to give it up- the job gave me a feeling of self worth if not a great salary.
Now I am trying to set up my own Medical advertising company so I can work at my own pace.
But my current rapid cycling mixed states aren't helping things.
Sad, but I am dependant on the kindness of my parents and sister....at 30. I makes me cringe with guilt.
