The one thing I'm glad about is that I told the medical manager a while ago that I have bipolar, but am stable. This way if I'm off for a while, I won't have to explain myself and they will assume it's psychiatric, not addiction, which is way less stigma. Hopefully it won't come to that, but I'm sure my pdoc would write me a medical note if I need one.
