Thank you for this. When I came out my co-workers couldn't believe it, " you don't act bipolar." I said no I'm fairly stable, take my meds everyday, and go to my Pdoc. When I've been on med leave I receive thoughtful cards and it shows they care knowing it's a mental illness. I have helped others with MI or there family members. I just want to help others and change the stigma. It's a risky decision to make though. Hopefully in my lifetime things will change.
