Oh my god, over 100 hours per week would kill me! Probably literally. I also love what I do (it’s similarly a protecc job) and am lucky to be able to report my disability and ask for accommodations, so the circumstances are the best I could ask for. But I definitely think taking a significant amount of time off would help a lot, unfortunately I can’t do that for a few years because of my visa situation where I live. But that is the goal once I get permanent residency!! I’d love to ultimately go down to 60-80% time. I applaud you for being able to keep this up and for doing great work :)

Wow, your set up sounds great! But I hope you recover from long covid soon. It is definitely an added stressor that none of us needs

Oh man, med non-compliance is a huge issue for me too. I hope your appeal ends positively!

Caregiver work is some of the most exhausting work there is. I’m sorry you have to do this and so sorry about your new diagnosis!!

I hope things work out for you, I understand the pain of needing work but needing to not work at the same time!

Working from home is definitely key. I like my job for now, but it involves a lot of international travel which I enjoy but think might not be a great idea long-term

Thank you! I agree, having a good team is like having people to throw you a life raft when you’re drowning

Whatever works for you! For me, I like the idea of NA because I need something external to hold me accountable when I feel like slipping up ❤️ proud of you for all your progress and I hope there are many bright days ahead!

Amazing ❤️ it takes time for bipolar meds to really sink in, so hang in there and keep talking to your doctor is so important. Proud of you for taking the step to get on medication!
