Right now, it's strictly a need-to-know basis at my current employer. I've talked to friends and old co-workers about my BP and anxiety and they would have never guessed that about me. Some of my friends have even disclosed their issues with MI and you would never know from talking to them. I think that we all hide it well.

I think that a lot of people have this cartoonish vision of what it is really like to have MI. That's because of a lack of education and an irresponsible media that spins it to look like people with MI are either drugged-out zombies, knife-wielding maniacs, or mass shooters.
