Does anyone have specific examples of jobs that you (or someone you know) are able to maintain and at least slightly enjoy, while being bipolar? It is very difficult to find a low-stress job that is not very boring and anti-social, and does not flatten my personality. I am looking for a more rewarding, slightly challenging job that is not that stressful. A few stressful jobs in the past led me to the hospital, once for severe depression and the other for mania. I am very lucky to have my current job so far, but I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to do it because I get lonely and the work is very monotonous (and long hours). Thank you.
Diagnosis: Bipolar (mostly depression)
Medications:
Lamictal
Latuda
Wellbutrin
Adderall
Klonipin
