What do you do for work? Do your conditions make it hard for you to maintain a full time job? Curious to hear others experiences and what has worked for them.

      I'm a dispatcher for a transportation company, but I only work part time because I'm also on social security disability.

      I'm currently a full time student pursuing a career in classical music performance. It's super demanding and ive recently been worried that it could turn out to be too much for me to handle.

      I'm working part time. There's no way I could work full time, but I don't know that my bipolar 2 has anything to do with it. (It's moreso my sleep disorder and chronic pain.)

        @Reddest On my hypomanic days, work is a breeze. On my depressed days is where I struggle to stay consistent with any 9-5.

          @smkeaton mm, I think it's hard to tell my depressed days from my hypersomnolence days, they're so entwined. Now that I think about it, I experience a lot of despair at work though. Hypomania messes with my work some but mostly via keeping me up all night on work nights.

      I don't work. I'm on disability because of my conditions.
