I’m doing the social media marketing for Beulahland, my local soccer pub. I traded a table and food for my social media skills and I’ve finally figured out how to do the work without getting sick.
1. I have to get to bed early.
2. If I let myself work too long on a creative project, I will get hypomania.
3. I can’t put my name on things. The more anonymous I remain, the better my OCD and paranoia.
4. I can handle crowds if I’m the one in control of the situation. Such as running a raffle that already has 2000k tickets!
Here is some of my work. I love to make post cards and come up with fun raffle prizes. My goal is to do a soccer pub quiz. That will happen when my sleep is regulated! Overall, it has been amazing.
In the past two weeks, I’ve dealt with paranoia, trouble sleeping, hypomania and the feeling that I’m getting too creative, but I’m keeping it together and all is well.
Work and bipolar …. what a topic. We can make work work for us! What success have you had with your work?

Beulahland has a totally different meaning for me, its another name for heaven in spiritual language, so I thought this was going to be something about an entirely different subject rather than football.
So I wont comment any further, as I really dont have a passion for football but do for Jesus.

Hello Mauree, I can see how it would be confusing! Beulahland is the name of the pub where I’m doing my anonymous World Cup social media work. It has been a haven for me- that is true. I never thought of the name in that way before! Julie
