What’s going on at Arnold?

Hi there! 👋 I'm bipolar too! Have you ever asked for accommodations at work? If so, what worked for you?
No but I should have. Anyone have an answer for this? Its tough with all the stigma
What’s the biggest misconception of being bipolar?
Thank you for your question. The biggest misconception I feel is that we are violent or feel no remorse when we are manic. I am not violent at all, just misunderstood. You have to ask questions and be open to answers to talk to atypical people and reach an understanding.

Did anyone watch “Spinning Out” on Netflix? First I just thought it was a trashy ice skating show but then became more interested when I realized it was dealing with mental illness, specifically bipolar. I wondered if it was at all an accurate depiction.
Haven't seen
Also if you are a toxic agency for queer, bipolar people. You're fired.
Thanks for doing this. What does it feel like when you have a manic episode? I have such little understanding of bipolar disorder tbh that I’m not even sure they happen as “episodes.”
So I also have split personalities which is not always the case. Benny is Benedict Arnold the creative side and Winston is Winston Churchill the strategy side. It's just a way of saying I am a creative warrior. However without meds, I can get grandiose and actually think Benny and Winston are real and talking to me, rather than they are me. Contrast that with schizophrenia where you hear voices.
bipolar does not mean split personality..it is mood swings. I happen to have mixed episodes that make me think i am a god

Thanks for the AMA! How do you handle working in advertising knowing and experiencing some of the ugliness and chaos that happens within it?

You do you Jonathan. Cheers to greener pastures! 🍻
I’m still dealing with the fallout of years of mental abuse at the hands of someone bipolar, and later having a roommate who I didn’t know until too late was bipolar, and would personally struggle with having to work with or manage someone whose treated (or untreated) up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down cycles came back into my life again.
I had to briefly supervise a freelancer who was also bipolar, and was at least experienced enough to spot the up-and-down cycle (and gaslighting that comes with it), but it took such a toll on my own mental health that I would like to know, for the future and if it happens again, any techniques for balancing the abilities and capabilities of a worker who’s bipolar with the the mental health impact they may have on the colleagues surrounding them.
Its called illegal discrimination look it up. If you want dialogue don't hide behind a title. Come out of the shadows
What is the best way to deal with bipolar coworkers-is there something I can do to make our working relationship better?
Got it. So keep it professional and same rules apply! If they are open about being bipolar talk to them in private if appropriate. The ball is in their court here to share or not to share with you.
I'm going to continue to answer any questions throughout the week! Reminder: if you have serious thoughts of suicide please please get help and call me. I will call 911 for you and stay on the line. I've survived 5 hospitalizations. You will get through this.
