I'm working 40 hours a week rn, which I've only done the last two weeks. It's been years since I've even tried; I'm bipolar and have never been able to work more than 25 hours and stay stable. Instability is no fun with bipolar; try keeping a job when you're manic and seeing things that aren't there. Or being in a mixed episode and stabbing yourself (not my proudest moment). Then when you're stable again, regretting every single decision you made.
I've been doing well, in comparison, this time around. Due to me being diagnosed and medicated, but it's still hard and taking all of my effort. I'm not the healthiest mental health wise, but I'm still logical and myself, which is great.
Anyways, people have different disorders, disabilities, and mental health issues. If we could survive off of a part time income, life would be so much easier for people who have those problems, and there would be more options for normal people.
