I am a nurse and I was petrified that my license would be pulled and I would lose the career I love and the ability to support my family. Even though I am bipolar II, I have never behaved in a manner that would endanger patients so there was no reason to report my condition to the Board in my state.

You are under no obligation to tell anyone at your work about your psych issues or any meds you are on. You may end up telling some people you trust, but largely that decision is up to you. What's kind of interesting is that I think about half of the people who work in my unit are on some sort of psych med! (maybe the NICU makes you crazy...or only crazies work in the NICU)

You may find that treating the possible bipolar (or whatever ends up to be your issue) makes it easier for you to help your patients. I know my job takes less of an emotional toll on me since I started treatment.

Good Luck, and Hugs
