Hi there,
your situation sounds quite distressing, it seems there are several issues to tackle at once. I don't have any advice for work related issues, but I hope it gets sorted and that you don't lose your job due to your illness.
I just wanted to say that your diagnosis doesn't mean you will feel the way you do right now for the rest of your life. Bi-Polar can be well-managed with the right treatment, and you can lead a good life with it, too. I think it requires a lot of effort to get there, and is probably hard to work on, but it doesn't mean that you will feel miserable for the rest of your life.
I understand the feeling of being "flawed" as such without a chance of it going away. I am diagnosed with BPD, and at times it makes me hopeless. But I also know that with the right treatment and hard work things improve. Please don't feel completely discouraged to try and work on things.
About the lack of replies: I think most of the time people just don't know what to say/don't have any practical advice and only could say what already has been said. It is hard to come up with things to say when people suffer.
A LOT of people feel they don't get as many replies as they would like to, but as hard as it is, I think there are no reasons to take it personal. I made a thread not too long ago and only got few replies, none of which I found to be helpful in the way I would have liked. The reason for that is that people could not provide the support that I had hoped for, and mostly didn't know what to say.
Also: your thread is just two days old, it is unlikely for ANY thread to get a lot of replies in that short amount of time, regardless of how many people have read it.
