Dear Karen Ruth Salem,

It must be difficult and frustrating when trying to keep a job while suffering from bipolar disorder.
I am unsure of your level of disability, or the level of demand the jobs you have had require.
You may consider vocational rehabilation, in order to improve your marketability.
Most ensures require a degree of severity of symptoms prior to hospitalization.
If your are currently in treament consult your therapist, if not contact a local hospital inquiring about agencies that can guide you to finding the appropriate resource.

Best Wishes,

Sincerely,
