Pretty sure I’ve been faking it til I make it my whole life! Haha.

The first couple years of my diagnosis I had extreme anxiety that work would find out and I’d lose my job.

When I switched departments a couple years ago, I told my boss & coworkers upfront that I have bipolar, and it has been soooo much better. I think I work with an exceptionally understanding and supportive group of people however, so that makes a difference.

I’ve always struggled significantly internally with work and school, but have always been “successful.” Much of the time I feel like I’m barely making it through though.

You are not alone my friend.

I will try to write more soon <3
