Anyone have bipolar 1, had hospitalisaions for mania, and still have a job or career? Or been able to get through university? Wondering what jobs work well with the needs we have

I have been a worker for 15 years, I have never been hospitalized but I would have needed it. I took 6 months of sick leave and they fired me. Now I work for a large company and I am happy with the three shifts 5/13-13/21-21/5
