“I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder six years ago. I’ve never told any of my employers or shown them any signs that I’m aware of and I’ve always gotten great performance reviews. Lately, though, the stress at my current tech job is so high, it’s brought on a pretty hard “bipolar episode” that’s been difficult to bounce back from. I was considering telling my supervisor about my disorder, because apparently telling her that I have too much work and pressure isn’t sinking in.”
