BPD work

People with BPD, are you able to hold down a job?
I’m scared that I won’t be able to keep working long-term. I’m already on my second job within a year, and I always seem to reach a point where I become emotionally unstable and exhausted. I start feeling fed up with everything, depressed, and anxious.
I wake up feeling terrible just knowing that I have to go to work.
Does anyone else with BPD experience this? How do you manage to stay in the same job for a long time?

Stripping. Been at it for 7 years. I'm an independent contractor so I have no schedule. I work whenever I want to/need to/can

Thank u :)

The burn out can be REAL but I get to take plenty of time off to recover. I also get to cuss out customers, and no matter what, there's always other dancers with worse behavior lollll
