I have been a bit hypomanic at work lately and have been overproductive, and doing things I thought I could never do, like organizing large meetings and public speaking. I was just handed a huge promotion/raise and a newly created trainer position about a week ago because of all this. The announcement went out and most of my department (especially the women) are being very cold to me. They all know I was out for "medical issues" a few months back. My coworkers see things that my boss doesn't, like me crying at my desk one day and skipping around the next. I have always been an overachiever, have been with the company for 13 years, have consistently gotten the highest ratings. But I am pretty sure everyone thinks right now that I am just getting special treatment. I know I shouldn't care what they think, I'm just frustrated because I feel like I'm hiding, like what if everyone knew about my bipolar disorder and that I was hospitalized?? I feel kind of guilty for being promoted like it was due to my hypomania, and am also terrified that I will crash and become depressed and/or incapable. I have just gotten straight on my meds so I really hope that doesn't happen. Anyway I feel like a sham and I still feel so sensitive since I am recovering from major depression. Has anyone faced problems like this at work? A couple of ladies have been downright horrible to me because they are jealous. I can't believe the way people treat each other. The whole thing is so aggravating. But of course I am not willing to tell ANYONE what is really wrong with me.
