Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
It's been nearly 2 years since I've worked at all...and I only worked for about 4 months last time I worked...and it was about 2 years before that, that I didn't work.
Am I manic in thinking that I want to go back to work? It's not just today. Over the past month or so I've been applying to jobs in my career field....and 7 months that I've been trying to find a part time job. There's nothing out there.
But I'm persistent...I'll keep on trying. I just don't know if I should really try harder to get into my career field or if I should just try to get a part time job and continue on disability. The longer I stay out of my career field, the harder it will be to get a full time job in the future. :(
What should I do? I've been feeling "stable" for about a month or so now.

I was going to say that it doesn't hurt to try but the last time I tried to work I had a nasty manic epsiode...
It sucks to be in this position.
Good luck!

Good luck finding a job!! I know the market is just terrible right now! (((((Hugs)))))
I've been off work for 2 years also.
Just recently I am looking for something part time, I do not want to lose my SSDI benifits, but I feel like I MIGHT be ready for some simple work.
Keep trying , and good luck !
