Blue, My first computer job lasted 11 months before I got fired because they got ahold of my medical records and found out I am bi polar. Not legal but the found a way to do it. My next employer where I still am doubled my salary and welcomed me and my MI with open arms. It is possible to find a healthy work environment. I have the freedom to work from home when I am depressed, have arrangements with my managers manager. She has a sister with BP disorder so she gets it. At your stage in your career it is not unheard of the find another better job and move on. The one thing that I would stress is that you emphasise that you are looking for more opportunities to learn your craft. Recruiters love to hear this. One caveat I will give, DON'T go work for google, they will chew you up and spit you out. That is not a good place for us with BP. Best of luck for you.
