I had a good response from coach and manager at work when I told them of my depression. One confided that they had just come through a very difficult time at home. The other recommended LifeWorks. So here I am, on my first day in this Depression Centre.
I am sorry to hear you did not get the support you were looking for at work. I think you were very brave for speaking up about what you were expereincing though. With time I hope there will be less stigma around mental health in the workplace. I think we are moving forward but it will take time and lots of open communication from brave people like you.
I would like to hear what other members have experienced in the workplace as well...
I am just wondering what people's experiences are to disclosing their mental health to their workplace.
I am bi-polar. I have worked for this employer for a full year. Major depression, PTSD, and anxiety are major symptoms I deal with. While dealing with these are a constant in my life, an event in my work place has triggered a major occurance of these symptoms.
Having some difficulty, I DISCLOSED MY MENTAL HEALTH TO MY EMPLOYER. They responded by cutting my hours in half.
Frustrated, I have asked for a complete leave and sought help from my doctor.
What have been the reactions from your employers?
