Sorry if this is not the best place but I'mm wondering if many of you have been in a job and told your employers about your mental health issues? and if so how did they respond and did it make the job easier (or at least the environment)?

I ask because i have been in the same job for 15 months now but because of a lot of changes and issues in the work environment I ended up breaking down quite a few times and had to tell my manager as it was affecting me badly (so he knew about my bpd, dysthmia and self-harm) but nothing was discussed in depth. Things changed again and i had another new manager so my old one told him some information and i had a chat with him but only discussed the dysthmia and doesn't know about the bpd or self harm. I broke down at work again today and i am not sure if it would be wise telling my new manager in depth about bpd and how it affects me in regards to work as I'm not sure if its too much info or if telling them will help.

I would just like to know if anyone can share their experience with this?
