Hi donut, You're right it's important for you to take care of your mental health. I don't know if you're in therapy yourself, but if you aren't you may want to try that.

There are pros and cons to disclosing your diagnosis and it's a very personal decision. I made the decision to be open about my diagnosis at work, but I was advised against it from my Psychiatrist, therapist etc. Overall I'm glad I disclosed, but there are times I feel discriminated against.
