Around the time I was diagnosed I was having some major issues at work. This was almost 4 years ago now. I have some major disorganizational problems that impare my functioning sometimes, but not always, it comes and goes but gets steadily worse.

Like you, I wanted to disclose so that I could get accomidations. I sat in a meeting with the HR person adn my boss at that time. The first thing I said was if a position that had less responsability ever came available, it might be good to move to it. The HR person instantly informed me that I would never be moved or promoted due to my instability. This was of course said verbally and not recorded anywhere, so my word against hers, really. None of the accomidations I requested were ever met.

Every six months after that, I would receive an official "write-up" about poor performance. All of the issues that came up were often due to major cycle shifts and struggling due to bipolar. When I tell them this, I'm told I need to "leave it at the door." And "everyone has bad days." Some of the write ups were for things like forgetting to schedule an appointment and the patient then shows up. Other things are like once I let the woman I was training as my fill-in for materinity leave whipe my desk down with lysol. In that write up I was called "disgusting." On paper. All of my write-ups I give to my GP to scan into my medical record.

My first year I received highest score on my review, which is a 4. After that, my score went steadily down to a 2.4 in 2012, and threat of being fired if I did not become "stable." I did very well in 2012 and although I corrected and exceeded in correcting their preceived issues, I only got a 2.7 on my review. Odd.

When I almost died in 2012, July, of gall bladder and pancreatitus, and missed 3 weeks of work, and since I'd had my baby earlier in the year, I only had 2 weeks of FML available. So, I was told I had to get back to work within 7 days of leaving the hospital or I'd be fired. So I went back before I was healed. This makes me mad because another woman was diagnosed with Lieukemia in May 2011. She was off for a year, came back to her job for 2 months, relapsed, and they are still holding her job. Which, just seems like playing favorites. I mean, I was told under no certain terms that "we can't hold your job held for you once FML runs out, regardless of how ill you are." Odd.

After I was sick, however; my boss because more appreciative of me at least. I haven't been written up since then. (But my review was still crap.) So yeah, I do feel I am discriminated against, and I have been keeping record of this in my medical chart.
