The Ursulines are Sisters not nuns. They were founded in the sixteenth century and were the very first Order that was founded that was not composed of cloistered nuns, instead they were founded for the education of young girls so the Sisters were not to be cloistered but to be out in the community. There was Episcopal opposition to a religious order of women that was not strictly cloistered, at that time.
Mary founded an order of nuns called the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart.
Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis was created in 1901.
there is a religious order ( of French origin) called the Sisters of Saint Joseph, but they are not commonly called Josephines. The Sisters of St. Joseph are active in the health care apostolate such as hospitals, homes for the Blind and other handicapped, and related social deeds. They have a distinctive habit, but I have never heard them called Josephines.

Priests and nuns can all be referred to as members of a religious order, and as people who have taken vows of obedience to that order.
Unfortunately, I don't believe any orders of nuns or congregations of sisters accept women who have significant physical, emotional, or mental challenges. This is not to say that women with health challenges are not beloved by God, special, and good people; it is only because the life the sisters lead requires significant physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental strength, and the lives of the sisters are bound together in community: any health crisis affecting one sister seriously affects the lives of the entire community. Men and women with health challenges such as bipolar are often accepted into what are called Third Orders or lay confraternities of Catholic Orders. There are lay associates of Carmelites, Franciscans, Dominicans, and many more, who participate in the spiritual benefits of the Order, live out the order's charisms (gifts), participate in the order's spirituality and mission, but maintain their own homes, jobs, families, and finances. Most lay associates are healthy and active individuals, but some face health challenges that are well-controlled with medication. You can find each of these Orders on the web, and they will link to their lay associates pages.
