People assume if you look fine you are fine (which is a reasonable assumption at a first pass) but there are days/weeks I feel "normal" whatever that is and days where I'm watching the clock til it's "I can reasonably go to bed now" time.
I haven’t had a vacation or break from anything since I started my job. All my PTO has been burned on medical problems. And now I’m looking at having to disclose I’m bipolar to get unpaid medical leave. Right after a three day weekend.
At least my manager has my back here.
Such things can get rather tiresome.
Had a massive row because it hurts to stand on those days and I'd booked a reserved seat on a train and someone decided that reservations don't matter.
I had to politely ask them to move, then impolitely ask them - there are days when been 6ft/200lb (1.83/90KG) has it's uses tbh.
I see it as character building haha
