I'm a home health nurse.... It's a relatively small office and everyone knows everyone else's business and if they don't... they'll ask. Trust me when I say I will be hounded for the reason I was out... But, no, I don't want to be gossip'd about or made to feel like a freak.

Moose,
No, nothing happened at work per se...I worked while hypomanic, but no one seemed to notice. I can be a little high strung at work anyways, so no one blinked an eye. When I became full blown manic I did not go to work and haven't been back since. FYI- I am no longer manic...
