NO!!! I have been quite lucky over the last few years... that is up until a little over a year ago. Soon after I was diagnosed I confided in my boss and the HR rep (who had been what I thought was my friend.) It wasn't two months later and they both came and fired me. And I work in the healthcare industry where we deal with alot of mental health patients. Granted I was suffering from some paranoia....and they were not helping but I had been with this very large company for over 8 yrs! I made this company lots of money. So, of course I spiraled into a deep depression which landed me in a hospital for several days. I am lucky that I have a degree and am able to function with this disease. With the helps of meds! But, it literally took my 4 months to get a job because they then put it out in the industry I work in. Do yourself a favor....some things are better kept to the people close to you that know love your and have your best interest at heart.
