Thanks. I've already informed them, and they are investigating.
It's awkward knowing that the top management is aware of my disability and are being very supportive, but the people I work with day to day aren't supposed to know about it, for obvious confidentiality reasons.
I'm in a bind -- if I let on that I'm being "accommodated" I imagine the harrassment will only escalate. The department I work in has been running without "adult supervision" for a long time because of high turnover for that particular manager position, so the dysfunctional behavior is pretty entrenched.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What are the risks vs benefits of disclosing mental illness to co-workers? Does it stop the harrassment, or does the bullying only get worse?
