Does bipolar disorder have effects on your job?

Hi @sunshine490

How are you doing today?

I think many people struggle with this. Let me tag a few other Carenity members who may be able to give you advice or who can share a similar story with you.

Do you struggle to work? Is it hard to remain consistent with going and liking your work? What do you do? How do you motivate yourself?

Let's share,

Take care!

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.
