Bipolars are often able to land some excellent jobs. If you work for an average size company, chances are you work with at least one bipolar. He or she is probably that super creative person who just won't stay put in their cubical (and sometimes hides in it).
The problem with us bipolars, is that some of us are as good at losing jobs as we are at landing them. And yes, although I am successful, I have burned a few bridges in the ole' career journey. The older I get, the longer I am able to keep my jobs. I usually put myself on a two-year contract.
I have NEVER been fired (yet!!). But, I have been "Almost Fired". The trick for me is knowing when to let go. Personal Relationships are most often the reason for my job-hopping. But, The worst boss I ever had was myself (I was self- employed).
However, I do not despair. I am smart, and there is always another job just around the corner. I land wonderful jobs, and make wonderful contributions. I always leave a company knowing that I have done some very wonderful things, and that I gave my heart and sole.

I wish I knew the answer to that.
Personality and mental illness are strongly entangled.
Wow...do you know what punctuation is?
does anyone have a solution for losing jobs because meds make you oversleep in the morning? any job suggestions that meet the late-sleeping situation?
Hey Anonymous friend there are medicines like Modalert that can keep you awake inspite of other sleep causing madicines. Discuss with a Doctor.
I love that quote. I think I posted that I never had a job longer than a year, that was an exaggeration, The longest was 3 years :-) but other than that they have all been about a year and a half and yet somehow, I manage to find work, good jobs. Until, now. I hear hiring managers are looking for job stability in your history, so It's taking me longer than usual to get back into the workforce. I honestly just want to start another business but don't have the money. I know if I get a job I won't last
No cure for being fired when Bipolar
