question: have you ever responded to negative stigma?. if so what did you say and what happened (as in, did that person learn about the illness.)[/QUOTE]

The most notable was when there were really offensive jokes about psych patients being made at work and I finally told my boss that they were inappropriate and why I thought so. Suddenly my work was no longer good enough, I kept getting in trouble and I was fired a few months ltae. If I had kept my mouth shut I might still be in that job (Which I'm so glad I left as I eventually got to the job I was made to do and did that the last 18 months before disability. It was a good ending).

Question: Were you/are you open about your diagnosis at work?
