I feel my co-workers are condescending at times. Maybe it is me being overly sensitive. I told myself not to let this little episode ruin my day...but I felt wronged and hurt. I am not stupid...I'm actually pretty smart. The depression meds do slow me a bit...but I'll match my wits with anyone at work.
I hate being viewed as "ill".
I have been going through the exact same thing. I work as a medical assistant for a local doctor. I have been going through some severe depression with some mixed episodes for the past month at least. It's just been getting worse for the past week. I have worked there for almost two years and have not "outed" myself.
But apparently my Bipolar is getting worse, I think they know now.
They cut my hours from full time to 20 hours a week. I'm devastated.
