Been at job for 1.5 years without disclosing. I’m bipolar type 1 with psychotic features and also adhd and ptsd. I have struggled with things that aren’t acceptable in consulting like needing to miss calls last minute bc of emergency situations and just general inconsistency in my work - periods of it being very good and very bad. I work at an HR company in a small subsidiary consulting group (mainly compensation consulting). The whole time I’ve been here people incl. very senior people have been talking about me - have received calls telling me what people are saying about me and emails they accidentally cc’d me on about how I’m not trying, making excuses, inconsistent, with some of them having HR copied too. It’s really wearing me down and making me feel uncomfortable here but i don’t know what reasonable accommodations to ask for or if it’s not worth it because of the stigma.

In an almost identical situation. What medications do you take if you don’t mind sharing?

Sorry you’re going through this, OP.

What reasonable accommodation do you think would help?

That’s what i can’t figure out. It would help to not work really late so i can focus on sleep (super important for mood). It would help immensely to be in an office or have office space that isn’t my bedroom, but nothing they can do. Mostly just want people to stop talking about me so it’s probably just not the right place and im kind of thinking i shouldn’t be in consulting at all

We recently got the ok to schedule our orientation and delivery date for our IVF medications and all I have to say is ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF! My husband has dermatomyositis, and his doctor put off treatment so that we could do some collection and go through IVF. I felt like my dr was blowing off our timeline, but I persisted. I worked with CVS Caremark directly and got approval in 2 days (not the expected 3 weeks). Moral of the story: ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF!

It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!
