I had the most surreal moment this weekend.A good friend of mind was complaining how one of her employees fled a situation ,in tears ,at work....then she heard from others that employee is bipolar.My friend then went on to say that she feels she should of been informed of the mental status of the employee because she didnt know how to react to the crisis at work.
Funny isnt it.Shes one of my closest friends and I dont have the balls to tell her Im BP. I just sat there and listened,said nothing. I wish I had a friend that I could tell and call on in crisis....but I dont.I dont because Im ashamed,ashamed of being sick .Its feels like its my fault. Sometimes I worry about hurting myself and not being able to reach out.....Ive never reached out before not even when I think I might not wake up.STUPID,STUPID STUPID Can anyone relate?

You know what you should tell her...
its none of her business if someone has a mental illness or not....and how should she react to a crisis such as that at work? Offer her services as a friend and coworker to the distressed coworker....not treat her like "someone with bipolar" but someone who is upset and needs comforting or support.... honestly dreamrunner...i dont think she would be a person to tell....she sounds like someone who label you in a second...and tell people that you are bipolar and explain to them how she feels that you need to be treated....thats when sentences like "Well she is bipolar, so we should tell her the only reason she is crying is because of her mental illness..and its really not that bad" And yes i have been in sort of the same prediciment....its hard but you will find someone....someone who wont judge you....if they support you and dont have to know you are bipolar to support you....than i think they are worthy enough thats my opinion...good luck
