I guess it depends on what you are qualified and able to do, but I think the best advice I can offer is to look for something that has as little stress and as much regular routine as you can get. Stress is bad for bipolar, and routine is good...

Do what you want to do. You'll be happy deep down inside (not just chemically), and your resulting skill level will give you good job security and relatively high pay. Find your bliss. If bipolar hurts your ability to function normally then you should seek treatment, but don't let that stop you from trying to deal with it a little too. It helps some people be more creative. Some of the world's best artists in all fields had manic depression.

Well, that's a tough one. I'd say something that can be very flexible. Something where you do not have someone constantly looking over your shoulder. Something with low stress would be what works for most people. Now having said all that: I am bipolar and I work as a property manager. I have constant stress, deadlines, etc, but I love it. I was very honest with the people I work with and they have been very understanding regarding my situation and I get the job done, make property owners a lot of money and I just do some things a little unconventionally.

When I was able to work, I found that a job with structure helped me. There were certain things to do at certain times during the day. My boss helped me set up a schedule. It allowed for flexibility, don't get me wrong, but there was a list of things to do daily. That portioning out of the work made the day seem to go by faster, but more importantly, it helped me focus on the tasks at hand. I'm not saying the job has to be a simple one. I was a tax accountant's assistant, and it was a pretty demanding job. My illness did get the best of me, but when I was working, my self-esteem was much better than it is now. Hope this helps!

Over the last five years I had begun to have increasingly withdraw into a downward spiral of depression..
But now with the method I can fully focus my energy and thoughts into a decisive line on how to make my life better constantly. And it works like magic! I'm beginning to attract people to me once again and things have just been looking up since then.

I don't know where you have gotten the idea that there are "good jobs" and "bad jobs" for people who suffern from Mental Illness. What makes a good job varies from individual to individual. Your best bet would be to contact your community mental health provider. They should be able to get you in touch with an Employment Specialist that will evaluate your interests, past job experience and mental health symptoms. This individual will be able to assist you in finding the right job FOR YOU (not for your illness). As with any illness, you need to control the symptoms. The better controlled your symptoms, the better you will be able to hold down a job.

At al large growing church. Seriously.
One they are more then willing to pray for you and set you free of that and heal you of that condition (It has been known to happen way more often then you think and media and the world would like you to think)
+ chruches are fun beacuse your around alot of people that love life alot and though life may be hard, God touches people at church all the time....Churches are like hospitals when you think about it...people get healed of anything from AIDS to Deprsion being broken. Theres no place like an on fire church...on earth anyway...

You have to have a sence of humour I suffer mental illness and it depends on the severity and your coping skills. When you treat the symptoms and learn coping skills you can do anything.
