I haven't worked for two years. When I did work I was a Certified Nursing Assistant at an assisted living home and hospital. Toward the end of my employment at the hospital I started showing signs of agression and being manic. I want to get a job at a nursing home. I hope that working with less people will help my social anxiety. I fear that people can tell I'm Bipolar. I'm on my mes and I plan on staying on them. My councelor said she saw the bipolar side of me only a few times.
One thing I don't like about one of my medications (Seroquel) is that it causes me to sleep about ten hours a day.
Anyway, does anyone have advice on how to relax in social situations and good interviewing tips?

I had a lot of trouble with Seroquel too. I had to beg my doctor to see if there was anything else he could put me on to help with the panic attacks. At the time, I was still in school and if I panicked and took one of my pills, I would fall asleep in class. (Unfortunatly it wasn't until after I dropped out I was finally put on Atavian and therefore stopping my major drowziness problem - grant it, it still makes me drowzy, but not sleepy drowzy.)
Good luck on your interview! I can't really give any good advice in terms of the actual interview. The last interview I had I was in the middle of a slightly manic episode therefore giving the impression I actually had any talent and could work in the field. :p
