I found that I have bipolar

Hello! I am a woman and I have 24 years old. When I had 19 years old I had my first depression episode that involved hearing voices, smells and tactile hallucinations. I was in first year at College and I was very stressed in that period of time. I received help during that time and I started to take medication. I was ok for a few years. I understood wrong that I can stop my medication so I did. I started to hear voices again and I called the mental health hospital. I started another treatment. This time the treatment didn't helped me so much. I worked, but I cryed a lot even at work. After a while I started to hear voices again and I went to the ER. After I talked with the doctors they told me I need to stay more weeks until they will find a proper treatment. This year I found that I have bipolar disorder. I did therapy for 1 year, but now I don't afford it. I am confused. I don't know what I can do for my health to prevent another episode. The treatment is helping me a lot, but I don't have a job. Could you tell me more about what kind of jobs can I have? I need to mention that I have social anxiety as well.

I can't work in the field that I finished my studies in College, they don't accept people with bipolar disorder. I am very disspointed, but I need to try to find something to gain some money.

In the last job I heard voices more at work rather than another place. How can I prevent that?

I didn't do nothing complicated in my last job, I had some products and I put them in boxes and bags. Do I need to find something with less stress?

Thank you very much! Big hugs!
