Do you have friends and family you can share your mental health struggles/journey with? Or do you mostly keep it private/with your therapist?

I have bipolar. I have shared that I have the condition with close family but not friends and definitely nobody I work with. I go to therapy so that I don’t feel compelled to burden my family or others with these things. My dad happened to come over unexpectedly when I was in a mixed episode and that was uncomfortable since I was a hot mess. Not sure that this is the best approach, but I have a great therapist and this works for me. Stigma is too big a risk for me to broaden the circle of those I choose to share my struggles with

This is less about salary and more about career advice.
I work at a $5B healthcare company, & my boss of 6 years is SVP of strategy. She was promoted to EVP and is restructuring our team. We met and I told her I want to grow. She was talking with our COO about me, and he is interested in working with me. She told me to reach out to him, and now we have a meeting next. Now I feel like my boss has regrets based on her texts saying “I don’t want to lose you” but I’m interested. What do I do??

I just joined a brand as a marketing director and I’m coming in at the beginnings of a rebrand. The agency never provided a creative recommendation based on discovery for us to approve, they just started putting together messaging after holding a handful of interviews with our former leadership team. Having been on agency side this seems crazy to me, but I’m unsure how to approach feedback to the agency since I was on the media side, not creative. Any advice?
