It's a topic that hits close to home. Work knows about my diagnosis and there is another person that was diagnosed prior to me. This person has just come back from leave and they are trying to push him out. I know they will have a fight on their hands, but we shouldn't have to go through that. If someone was on leave because he or she had cancer a big party would be thrown for them. Come back from being on leave for a mental illness and most people can't look you in the eye.

It sucks that so much stigma and discrimination still exist, and that there is this double-standard surrounding "physical" illness and mental illness.
I hope your colleague is able to stand up to your employers (even though, as you say, he shouldn't have to!) and that they back down.
I also hope that the annoying, incompetent, flirty co-worker who left you with her f'd up files gets her come-uppance!!!! Sorry for your stress!! (((((((blueoctober)))))))
