I have been diagnosed with bipolar mood disorder 2 months ago and my medicines areworking good in me , I should say because I feel better and better each day. Of course, I give credit to God who is my greatest Doctor and my Healer!!! I believe that God uses instruments to heal us. I have taken one step at a time. I don't hurry because I don't want to disappoint myself. Few years ago, I have been in 3 to 4 businesses but everything failed. I have a good side of it, being good in designing and production but on the financial side, I am very bad at it. Knowing just now having bipolar, I have realized that all of my failures were caused by my illness. Now that I am being treated, I am praying for God's guidance so I can be back to work or have a business which can help my family. I am married with a very supportive husband who did not leave me despite of my illness.. I have 2 beautiful children age 11 and 12. Please give me your encouragements to help me on this concern. Thanks...

People with bipolar illness are able to live normal happy lives. They can be successful in business and their personal life.
However, you have just been diagnosed and are just getting adjusted to your medication.
Give yourself a little time to feel better before you go out and work.
Right now, take care of your kids (they probably need extra attention from you after living through your illness) your husband, and yourself.
The best way you can help your family is to stay well. Keep taking your meds and don't be so hard on yourself.

Thanks to God that you are now being treated! I also have bipolar disorder, and am being treated. I have realized like you that a lot of my past "mistakes" could be because of the bipolar, but that's not entirely so. I believe that God has always been there for me, he knows my life path and whatever went wrong in the past, there was a reason for it. I have grown tremedously because of my "mistakes" I believe there is a purpose for everything in our lives and God will lead you to what you are meant to do. Now that you are being treated and are feeling much better you should try to go back to work. Bipolar is not your fault, God has given it to you for some reason, perhaps you could find a job to work in the mental health field and help other people with your knowledge of design and production. You seem like a very nice person. I know God has good things for you. Good Luck! Email me if you like.

Awesome! I'm really glad you got the proper diagnosis finally. It must have been horrible on those lows. Yes, God is your greatest Doctor. Now that you are feeling a whole bunch better, and regularly take your meds, I don't see why you couldn't work, if that is what you really would like to do. You will need to determine if you want a part-time or full-time job. Maybe start out part time. Your decision. It is so awesome that your husband has been so supportive of you thru all of this. Your children are blessed to see that, too. Take care. God bless you.
