I feel like everyone (at work) is sitting there saying it's just an excuse because they all have to do it but I'm trying to get out of them. Like if they have to suffer then so do I but they dont realise what it does to me. Also I feel like ppl can't always tell I'm not feeling right & I'm dx BP2 so maybe they don't think it's that bad & I don't deserve any concessions.
