This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I just finished an interview and I blew it. I feel my bipolar gets in the way sometimes. I can never get it right when it comes to an interview I get very nervous.

Sorry to hear… But you are not alone. A lot of people get very nervous with job interviews with or without bipolar. Perhaps you can get some interviewing help at a job placement agency? Role-playing ahead of time helps a lot with a list of possible questions they could ask. Also, you can ask yourself what's the worst that can happen – you don't get a job. Not the end of the world. And also lots of breathing exercises and thinking you will do the best that you can. Best wishes for the next interview!

Look up commonly asked questions in interviews online. That helped me.

I was hired by a hotel once then the manager never called to give me my schedule nor did he return any of my calls. I’m still not sure why. And I blew an interview at my favorite store once and I blame it on the fact that I was depressed at the time. Perhaps this just wasn’t the right job for you

Keep going on interviews. Whether you deal with BP or not, everyone deals with good and bad interviews!

I did the same thing for an interview for a job promotion a couple weeks ago! I feel the same way about that and I know it’s hard. Hope it looks up for you soon!

Today mom and I are taking Moo and Copper to the vet for vaccines. I'm watching a movie having coffee while copper snoozes in between my knees. What does Thursday look like for you?

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it. Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
