Actually, I get asked if I'm experiencing BP related stuff, when I'm seemingly "off". It's not assumed, I've encouraged curiosity.


These people, all of them, including my current manager, ask me about how it affects me, so beside my one sister and my bf, who did google, I either have regular talks to answer any questions and or address concerns they may have.


My manager, whom I only met 4 months ago, didn't need to ask what she needed to do in order to decrease work related stress. She didn't need to close my laptop and beg me to talk to her privately because "the sparkle had left my eyes"... She didn't need to only schedule me for 3 third shifts because it would mess with my routine even more... She didn't need to offer to keep my job open if I want to go IP... Why, because I'm a casual employee and can be let go with a moments notice.


My friends and family don't have to encourage me to talk to them when they sense something is up, my colleagues aren't forced to ask me to hangout with them... Etc etc etc...


I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree that all these people are acting ok in front of me and discussing and or fearing me behind my back.
