I would not tell manager at work until you know if & what accommodations you need (legally they have to provide reasonable accommodations unless they are too much of a hardship on the company & I believe the company has to have at least 50 employees). There is a lot of stigma about mental illness so don't reveal at work unless you need accommodations (unless you have a particularly close & personal relationship w/manager & he cannot reveal to others unless necessary to get those accommodations). Your therapist or pdoc should be well versed on this. If not, contact NAMI or DBSA or Google the subject as the laws are changing frequently). Did you know a service animal can now be a miniature horse?? I'm wondering about having a horse in restaurants or on an airplane!

I have a friend who is blind & has a guide dog (rather large). I can't imagine a miniature horse, but she would love one!
