It is so difficult to deal with the stigma of mental illness in the workplace. I am sure it contributed to me having to leave work behind. My meds help and I am stable most of the time. But, I always (almost) take my medications as directed. I see my pdoc every one or two months and right now I see her every 3 weeks for ECT. I also can't stress enough how important it is to have a therapist/psychologist to talk to on a regular basis. They can help you find ways to deal with issues as they arise.
