hi guys, i hope this is a good place to post this. i have bipolar II, and it’s always caused me to have trouble staying in jobs. i’ve always worked retail, with the longest position lasting almost two years and ending when i had to take a leave of absence because of a depressive episode and couldn’t find the motivation to go back. i struggled to find another job, but i finally did and now i’m having issues there too. i have med anxiety and have trouble taking them regularly, and my new job has no scheduling consistency (ie. i work a different shift every day). i’m finding it really difficult to cope with the lack of consistency and taking my meds. i’m coming out of another depressive episode which is making it hard to even get out of bed let alone go to work, which caused me to call off the second day i was supposed to be there. 

i was wondering if any of you have found a good way to cope with this, or what kind of job you work that offers consistency. anything helps
