Okay, I'm sorry but the attachment was too difficult for me to read.

However.....if you want some sympathy, you have mine. I got booted from my executive-level nursing director position earlier this year because I had a bipolar meltdown at a particularly bad time for my facility (an assisted living which was being surveyed by the state). Even though they actually did me a favor, it was embarrassing and I STILL haven't figured out how they got away with not making reasonable accommodations for me as outlined by my psychiatrist.

I'm not sure what to tell you going forward, but just be aware that discrimination against those with mental illness is alive and well even in this supposedly "enlightened" country, and many of us other BPers have been in a similar situation. I hope your work circumstances come out better than mine did, and that you're able to stay in your job.

Wishing you the best.
