I have been diagnosed with bipolar for only 1 year but had sympoms since my teen years. I would LOVE to find a way to work from home. I have been through almost 20 jobs in the last 16 years. NOT because I am “lazy” or a crappy worker but because I cannot handle it. I just CAN’T!! So many people do not understand!!!!
