I guess they just know which one now. I am a little concerned as BP has a bigger stigma than depression, but posting that I had Bipolar and PTSD was my exact point. Break the stigma, one post, text, email, article and conversation at a time. I know I won't lose my job so I'm not too worried about peoples judgement. They know I'm a good worker.

Sorry that some people have stayed silent. Do/did you consider your co-workers as friends?
At least you were honest and open with your co-workers. I hope that everything goes well when you go back to work.
