I am a high school teacher. Six years ago, when I started a new job, I told a fellow teacher that I was BP in a moment of weakness. It never came up again, and I never told anyone else at the school. A month ago, I applied for a new job at my high school for which I was highly qualified. The person I originally disclosed to was on the interviewing committee. I did not get the job, did not even come close, and I wonder if it had anything to do with my disclosing BP in the first place.

Unless I absolutely had to do it, I would never disclose my disorder at the workplace again. There's just too much stigma attached to it.
