Thanks Dash, to be honest i have been very reluctant to say anything only reason i did is because breaking down in work isn't good and before i said anything both my managers have said they have depression and attempted suicide (i suppose to try and say we have been there so we understand a bit). I guess though things like depression are more understood nowadays but bpd isnt and the one manager i told about it had not even heard of it.
But because of the negative aspects of bpd im concerned about explaining it, because i know people think you are an attention seeker, liar and manipulative and i don't want to be judged on that with some of the things i do in work (ie asking to leave to go outside because I'm panicking). We dont have any type of occupational heath in work so first point of call for me would be my manager and i guess i don't have a second point of call. Its just difficult to know what to say as its not their responsibility at the end of the day, its mine and they cant help with that only the work aspect.
Its just difficult i guess.
