I hope that all of you have a subscription to the excellent magazine BP Magazine: Hope and Harmony for People with Bipolar Disorder as it’s a truly amazing resource- it really does make you feel better to read each issue!
I have had a column in the magazine for four years. I write on a variety of topics. My last topic was on work.
You can read the whole article under my posting at the top of the page. It’s a great article for all of us who struggle to reconcile our work desires with our actual abilities. Ok, let’s be real- what I just wrote is an euphemism for the reality many of us face- we want to reach a work (or school) goal and bipolar disorder gets in our way and we then have to rethink, regroup and try something that may be quite different from what we want for ourselves. Bla.
Along with relationships, work is the biggest trigger of bipolar disorder symptoms. Just great. If you love someone with this illness- it may seem that we just don’t try hard enough to work. In reality, we probably try a lot harder than most people- it can be hard for us, believe me!
