Anyone Else Had a Tough Time Returning to the Working World? Posted: 08-05-07 10:15am
Geez, I returned after a 9 year absence.
After spending that time in hospitals
enduring ECTs/meds/institution life/black
depression etc etc - you get the drift, I
decided to return to work. Thought this
was going to be not so bad. Hmmm....what
was I thinking....
Anyways, long story short. I've been back
for 1 1/2 years, but it has been very,
very difficult - mostly with mental
illness STIGMA. But you know...I DID
IT!!! I wrote a four part series on it,
and that was cathartic. If anyone is
interested in reading it, just let me
know. Also my own blog has helped too.
Take care. Deb

Hi there,
I would be interested in reading the blog
or anything you have written on this
topic. I am in a very close relationship
with someone who is bipolar and any
insight I can get I would like to read or
discuss. Work has aways been a stressful
thing when it comes to dealing with my
bipolar boyfriend.
Thanks Deb.
