I'm on record w the HR Director and my manager as having Bipolar. Outside of this and my closest friends, I'd bet few suspect anything is up. I told a former colleague and now friend about it, and he was blown away in disbelief.
Nice thread. Thanks.

Love that! I really wish this was talked about more in the general public. I do think there are many closeted BP people because they don't want the stigma and assumptions made about them. That is certainly my case with this new diagnosis. It was easier to say I was depressed or anxious, but when you mention BP, they just look at you like you are plain crazy! Drives me nuts!
