Yes I have quit Several jobs because of my Bipolar!!! If I felt it was just Too Stressful I would make sure I was getting enough sleep and talk it over with My now ex husband. 1 time I didn't talk to him and I just took my framed Diplomas off my boss wall and walked out!! I was pissed. My ex just said you must have been thinking about this for a long time!! My boss forgave me and He later owned a successful CPA firm!! He was Deaf and I was his Secretary and ASL interpreter. Never regret your occupation choices. Bipolar persons are Very Intelligent!!

Having bipolar disorder can make sticking to a job pretty hard because some days I'm all in and excited, and other days I don't want to do it at all. I've found that having a job where I can work from home helps a lot with this. At first, I wasn't sure I could find remote jobs in Tucson, but I was surprised by what I found. I am a Virtual Subrogation Team Manager for a car insurance company. Working from home means I can adjust my work setting to fit how I'm feeling, which helps me manage the highs and lows of bipolar disorder.

@Classycathy Absolutely! Try the cannabis pens. The come in Sativa (energetic high), Indica (a mellow and relaxing high) or blends. You can read on the box to see what the strain type is so you don’t grab the wrong one. I use Indica during my manic episodes. While it doesn’t completely rid me of the mania, but it definitely helps and gives me some relief. I believe you can buy them online. Our friends usually have them on hand so we get ours that way. Good luck!🍀

Have you ever quit your job because of bipolar disorder? I feel like one day I want it and I am so excited and then later I hate the idea of doing it so much. How do you deal with not wanting to do what you wanted at first? How do you work?
