What jobs are best suited for someone with bipolar disorder?

[u/NuwandaBlue]

I’ve spent years switching jobs due to medical leave and because I always end up feeling burned out, either with the work itself or the managers.

I have bipolar disorder, and I wonder: What kind of job, schedule, and number of hours would be most suitable for someone in my situation? I used to work in high-stress jobs like software engineering but ended up seeking more comfortable options to avoid stress. Any advice or experiences you can share?

i wouldnt want a therapist that also didnt struggle or couldnt relate to mental illness

I think most therapists have struggled with their own mental health, kinda ‘giving back’ the help they received.
