About a year ago now, I found out I am bipolar after having an intense manic episode followed by psychosis. During that time, I quit my dream job in a less than graceful way lol.

I have redirected however, and found an interest in peer support work- however, in my prerequisite class yesterday, I was informed that where I live, it’s challenging to get accepted in the peer support program.

I spiralled a bit yesterday and felt like things were crumbling around me. I want to work with mental health and help people in the ways I needed help. So basically what I want to know is are any of you guys working in mental health? What area of mental health are you working and how was the process of getting to that point? 

I’m just trying to not put all my eggs in one basket here and see what other options are out there, and wondering how they are on a person that struggles with bp
