You guys are lucky. I got really sick a few years ago and nearly had to be hospitalized for a mixed episode. When I needed accommodations at my desk job, I was promptly informed by the company that they 'couldn't' offer them. All I wanted was a couple hours per day of uninterrupted work time, and a plan to avoid confrontational situations temporarily until I could handle them again. Two days later I was fired. That's why I will never again disclose my diagnosis to any employer if I ever do go back to work.
