I'm glad you took their advice and it's working for you. I'll just add my take... Because I'm hypo, bored, I'd probably email my boss too right now [emoji28]. But from what I gather, you said he has told you to calm it down. I would continue with what is helping you now and only email when he does first. I also wonder what your partner thinks of this relationship. Does he know? Just the other night I was texting my friend so much he blocked me! I was so hurt. Then I woke up feeling so stupid. As far as disclosing your BP, if he's not your boss ANYMORE and it's strictly friends, mentor then I don't see it as wrong. I know you want to tell people, but from my own mistakes, by all means just keep it faaaarrr away from the work place. I had one panic attack at work that I couldn't hide therefor they found out I at least had anxiety issues and I was treated like a freak because of it. Eventually I lost my job because of my attacks and BP. Huge mistake. As much as we want, people without a MI just don't understand no matter what you try and say. I also made the huge mistake of taking my meds in front of a girl. She was very put off by it and was like "wtf?!" Yikes do I feel stupid. No matter how close you may feel to these people you have to remember there's a line there. They are your coworkers not your pals. And to be honest I lost a lot of friends and family relationships too. I would spill my guts to them with no warning and they would just drop me. I know we want to talk about it, it does help. But I would leave the talking and feelings to the professionals UNLESS it's say, your bff and you give them fair warning like "hey is it ok if I vent about some stuff to you?" Prepare them and be prepared if they just don't know what to say after! I hope you continue the good work!
