I also work for a hospital and I am BP II. Even working in the healthcare field, I think there is still a huge stigma. I recently had a health scare and was so scared to go to the ER because I didn't want to have to tell them I was BP. I was and am still afraid word will get out somehow and I will be treated differently. Sometimes I think about telling my boss so she could understand some things, but not sure she would be able to understand.
I like to say I am successful because I am an awesome mom!!! LOL I got through technical college and I have two jobs doing medical transcription so I make a living. I won't lie, it kills me sometimes. Most of the time I am soooo tired and want to lie down instead of work. I get to work from home which helps, but then I get into a depression because I don't leave the house for weeks at a time. Two sides of a coin kind of situation.
