Cool idea! My MIL does cake decorating...awesome cakes!!
I clean offices...it's stress free and theres no one there when I do it. Perfect job for a stressed out beeper.

I think you just answered your own question! Have you thought of working in a bakery? Also, another great idea for you would be to take classes at the local college for interior decorating. I love interior decorating, not as a profession but for doing my home and friends. But it sounds like you would be good at either of these things. Have fun in that class!!! You are going to shine!!!

A job with hard physical work can help too. Like cleaning stall and stables.

Yup, gets that Serotonin going!!

Cleaning stalls and stables?? Get real.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Do What You Want To Do Regardless of Bipolar.

There are things you can do to develop good coping skills. I spent about three full years in therapy gaining confidence to work a full time job with management duties. It's hard work, but it's not impossible.

I think cake decorating sounds awesome! Go for it!!!!

I worked retail for a large department store. I loved it. I worked in the housewares department and was housewares specialist ....once I had my break down, I cut my hours to 15 a week. It was a good fit for me

I'm trying to get into crisis management. Some days I find it too hilarious for words that that is what i wanna do. If that proves to be too much for me I'll free lance as... something in public relations or marketing communication. Maybe a speech writer. I could write ads... I could write.

The BEST job is whatever YOU can handle.

Follow your passion (e.g. Cake decorating) and see where it takes you! Branch out and you'll surprise yourself.

I worked in a laboratory as a research associate for many years. Then i broke down and fell apart - still putting the pieces back together again. That was my passion - to be a scientist. But it is WAY TOO stressful for me now. If only more people collaborated and fewer competed.

HEy godd luck on the cake decorating class sounds fun! 2 of the bes jobs I ever had were one, SInging waitress at HAmburger Marys in Chicago. I loved this job. It was like I owned the place. I strutted around the restaurant taking foo to guests. SInging for them when they gave requests, shaking my boobs, dancing, taking pics with people. Dancing with drag queens. The job suited me and my wild personality so well. I miss it so much!
The other job I loved was at a place called WOodhaven where I worked with 4 ladies who had mental disabilities . I loved these women. I took them to dances and shopping and to work. And cooked for them and bathed them. Heloing them with all that they go thru each day in life made me realize how lucky I am despite my BP. It was the most rewarding job I have ever had.

best of luck with the cake decorating. it is such fun and there is great satisfaction in the finished product. a wonderful creative outlet. do you bake as well, that is so good for the soul!! big hugs to you. enjoy.

I've read before that those with bipolar disorder must not work in highly stressful situations, however I always felt there is no such thing as a job that doesn't stress you out at all.

I would say do some soul searching and take on jobs that peak your interest. If you feel they are too much to handle and may impact your disorder, look for something else until you find the right one for you.

It really all depends on your passion and what you can handle. I wanted to be a radiology tech for years and do prenatal ultrasounds, but I also have fibromyalgia and cannot physical do the job considering most of the training requires moving patients and heavy equipment around. Now, I still work in the medical field, but as a transcriptionist. Right now, it's hard to do that because my meds causing me some fogginess, but I do love it when I can do it.

I think it depends on the person. For me, I try to avoid pressure. I want a little challenge but not too much. I don't care to be the center of attention..speaking or managing..

I like low key or low profile work.. I don't like to answer all sorts of questions etc...

Right now, I am a third shift security guard at a lubrication plant. Its kinda relaxed...however boring....but I do have to keep myself occupied. and I read alot on my phone via the Amazon Kindle application.

One weak point is I start talking too much and I try not to talk if I don't have to...I sometimes ramble nonsense that puts people off...
