Thanks Aurelius. I like you've been able to tell your boss about your mania, I've never been able to do it and my illness cost me a job in the past. Despite all that, I still can't fully believe I have an illness and my parents, the only people I can count on, haven't even read the wikipedia to learn about it. It's too painful for them, they expected my life to be something else. It's painful for me to see how people will judge me as some have already done.
Kind regards.
