I was diagnosed with a serious mental illness 6 years ago, but I have no problem finding jobs. I just never tell anyone that I have it. I was diagnosed with bipolar 1, was in a psychiatric hospital for 2 weeks, and on short term disability for about 2 months.
It's possible it was a misdiagnosis though. I think a lot of it was from anxiety and stress. I stopped taking medication in 2011 (against the advice of my doctor).
- orionblastar 11y agoYou might have had a temporary mental illness. Mine is so severe that it stops me from working. Just getting up in the morning is hard, and I can't even drive a car anymore. Stuff that used to be easy for me, got very hard to do. Everything changed when I became so mentally ill that I was disabled. Hard to understand.
