Message: [QUOTE="GardeniaSky, post: 231038, member: 213863"] I have a really hard time holding down a job. I have bipolar that is constantly being managed and monitored, so it's hard to add a job on top of that and everything else I do around the house. I've worked food service and retail in the past, so finding a job isn't terribly hard, but I do poorly in customer facing jobs. I always get complaints that I'm 'mean' because I don't do the fake smile ass-kissing thing that people expect from those positions. When I have a flare up, I'm really hard to work with. Jobs don't consider mental health issues to be a real condition, so they don't allow me to call off if I'm having an off couple of days because of my cycling. It's easier to just stay home. [/QUOTE]
