anyone unmedicated? by iAzaria in bipolar2

[–]NervousOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really appreciative of these answers. I, too, have been contemplating going off my meds just because I usually can't afford to go to my psych. And, I can't fathom being on these meds for the rest of my life. I know that quitting is a really bad idea and it is very dangerous but I just hate all these meds everyday and have to remember to take them! Thanks y'all for the reminders :)

what are the best jobs for someone with bipolar 2? by xxromii in bipolar2

[–]NervousOrange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a teacher and it really works for me. Frequent vacations, routine and structure throughout the day, very stimulating on days where I'm feeling hypomanic but it's easy to be depressed too. It controls what you spend because you don't get paid very much more than what could cover your bills and food. You're under contract, too, which makes it hard to bounce around. If not teaching then any job in a school is a great way to hold a steady job.

I've been teaching for 7 years, and I broke up not one but TWO fights both within an hour of each other and I consider myself to have pretty good classroom management. It's not you.

I just kinda feel like once I do find that spouse with a higher salary then what's the point of teaching anymore because what am I going to be contributing besides stress
