I was diagnosed Bipolar 30 years ago. I managed to complete 2 degrees with honors. Was in 3 national and 1 international honor societies. Worked for 25 years as a counselor , program specialist, behavior specialist, etc. I was just determined to be 100% disabled by the military and social security 10 years ago. And was a stay at home dad and worked for free on my in-laws horse farm . I am doing great now and compensated twice what I made working but still hope to work again one day.
