I’m joining my local iron workers union in a month and I was wondering if you guys think this would be possible for someone with bipolar to do this kind of work. The biggest problem I see coming my way is my manic cycle kicking in during a project. I won’t be able to take extended periods of time off and I don’t think a manic person on the job site is safe. I’ll be working on highrises and will have to be very careful and responsible which I don’t think manic me will be. Let me know if you know anybody who’s gone into construction with a mental illness or if you have any advice please.
