I was diagnosed when I was 16, I worked and raised my kids but it was very difficult, it's gotten to the point that I can't work anymore, when I do have a job the thought of going to work literally makes me physically ill

I take meds that manage it 90%. Some times people will see me at my best when I'm manic and have so much energy so they think I'm great. But then I crash and they get disappointed in what is left of me.

Routines for different types of days help.. not beating yourself up when you have low days. Meditations help. A balanced diet helps. You'll find things that work for you.
