Here’s Your Sign
Despite my transparency about my illness, it shocks me when people say they had no idea I even had anything “wrong” with me. It’s led to a lot of situations where bosses and coworkers have thought I was faking my illness to get out of work. I felt I had to repeatedly document my issues with trips to the doctor, prescription medication receipts, and ADA requests because I was so sick of being told to “just get over it,” when I needed time to manage my mental health.
