Thanks everyone for your advice!

kitty: I'm on a waiting list for a T - there's only one in my area that specializes in BP.

wingin'it - I disclosed because I was pretty sure I was being pushed out of that job and I wanted to cover my bases. Turned out to be a wise move - I have a civil rights attorney who is going to file a wrongful termination complaint since they violated the ADA.

The frustrating thing is that my unemployment is a totally different situation than before. I am so much more "normal" than I was and I'm doing practical, long-term things to improve my chances of getting and keeping employment. I thought I've been walking the walk, like sundog said. But even when I point it out, neither my husband or my sister seem to notice.

On a side note, sundog, I have five sibs, all BP...you want a couple of them? I have plenty to spare!

My sister should understand -she was diagnosed long before I was. My husband is getting there, but pretty slowly. The two of them are my primary support system, so I really hoped they would at least be encouraging rather than expecting me to screw things up again.

I guess I'm just feeling like I could use a little cheerleading from them - I get plenty of negativity elsewhere! But I will try to be patient until I have more evidence to show them Thanks again, everyone.
