I work full time as a NP in a busy clinic, and I don't think most people have any idea. I told a few friends at work, but for the most part people don't know. It would be OK with me if they knew at this point, because I'm not ashamed, but it hasn't come up. I haven't had any serious episodes since starting this job 2 years ago. I would need to take time off if that happened. I'm very high functioning, and quite well most of the time. I've had some lost opportunities because of illness, and wasted a lot of time, but it could be a lot worse, so I'm lucky
