My supervisor told me Friday that being bipolar is all in my head! I smiled and said, sure is. I mean, my brain is what is sick, and it is indeed located in my head. But then he said.......you should stop taking all those meds!
Wow.........just Wow!

I can't believe he said that. How uninformed he is.

Not to mention wildly inappropriate. I know from whence I speak; I work in HR.

I don't talk about my personal issues with my coworkers unless it's after work

That could well be seen as a hostile work environment. I'd say he was a very ignorant boss.

I'd have been tempted to reply "And let you take them for me?" But seriously, I'd find a way to not allow this kind of conversation/insult/disrespect/ignorance take place in front of me, and if I had to go to HR to do it, that's what I'd do.
