How can I prepare to go back to work after 5 years of not working?

In 2010 I was hospitalized for the second time because of my bipolar. I was able to get on Social Security Disability so that I could recover.

It’s been 5 years and I’ve had one debilitating depressive episode and one psychotic mania (I think it was caused by my recent hysterectomy). For me that’s alright. I believe that I am stable enough to work and I would love to help support my family financially again, but I don’t know where to start.

What are some good ways to head back into the work field part time? When should I reveal my illness? Do any of you have at home jobs that work well for you? I have an associates degree in office technology.

Thank you.
