Hi, bipolaRNurse - I can absolutely relate. I have done the same thing. I recently told my boss about my disorder, and it wasn't even while I was on much of a high. We were talking about personal issues and she shared something private with me, and I guess I just felt like sharing.

I'm really at the point now where I don't care what people think. I used to be embarrassed by my condition, but I'm done with feeling that way. I don't broadcast it around to anyone who will listen, but if something happens to come up and it pertains to a conversation I'm having, I may mention it to someone whom I think would be interested to know. While I hate having it, I take pride in the fact that I've managed to be successful despite having all of the issues that come along with being BP.

You seem like a really sharp person who has it together - be proud of what you have accomplished and just continue to do your best and succeed. We all have bad days, but we just don't quit - that's the important thing. Good luck!
