Sorry Black, but you are being judged - it's not a "feeling," it's a reality. I have BP1, DID, and PTSD which after lengthy psychotherapy and effective medications, they seem to be fully resolved (i.e. "in remission" so to speak) - but still, my friends, family, and associates are waiting for the next decompensation event. They still think that I'm demon possessed, but that the devil has temporarily gone incognito.

Ironically, after two years of perfect mental health, I may never again experience the symptoms of my afflictions (hopefully anyway) - but for what I've done during my serial states of insanity, and what I might do, they wait in harrowing fear. Yes, everyone judges me, and I say, let them.

As for your concerns with work, the federally mandated protections of the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) protects you from any form of employment related discrimination, and requires your employer to make accommodations for your symptoms related to your mental illness.

Best of good fortune to you.
