I would say so far, thankfully I've been successful. I have two college degrees, house, husband, and some friends (not a ton like years ago because I have distanced myself.) I'm not in my field yet, but working on it. I came out a couple of years ago at work. I wanted to change the stigma and help others and there family members. I think because of my mental illnesses I view the world differently, which I believe has helped me at work. I perceive things different, and don't sit back without giving my input on making improvements. I'm passionate and my bosses respect me for it. I've noticed on here and when comparing myself to the "norms" we're passionate. I've drifted, people at work didn't believe me that I suffered from BP, so yeah I'm hoping to change the stigma.
