Great news! For me, being straight-up was easier than trying to keep up with my own b.s., anyway. I hope things go well for you at your appt on the 2nd.
I never had any issues with work or bosses paying attention to my medical/mental health stuff and I even called from the psych hospital to reschedule a bunch of shifts one time I was inpatient. My bosses always had too much other stuff going on to worry about my personal crap. Maybe yours will, too.
Like you said, you are highly functional, holding jobs...I hope you get a great doc that you like and is able to help you. If not, keep trying!
Will be thinking of you on the 2nd
