It's a decision that is hard to make. My supervisor knows that I am bipolar and that I have diabetes. I've been hospitalized several times over the last 3 years for my diabetes and I always worry about my job. However my supervisor is really understanding and only wants me to get better so I can get back to work (LOL). Earlier this year when I was hospitalized for my bipolar he was understanding when my doctor told him I couldn't go back to work for a week after I was out of the hospital. My supervisor's wife has several mental illness so he understands what I am going through. I am thankful for that, because if it wouldn't be for that I'm not sure I would have shared with him about me being bipolar. I'm a manager for the company that I work for, most of my co workers do not know about me being bipolar. They know about my diabetes but not my bipolar. Sounds crazy, but I think they are more accepting of the diabetes than the bipolar illness.
