It would nice to think that there isn't as much stigma surrounding mental illness and that it should be out in the open. The stigma is as strong as ever. I lost my last job because I am bipolar and I started to have hallucinations at work. I was totally aware that they were hallucinations, I was not delusional. Ten minutes later the 3 police men were surrounding my cubicle, along with the 2 EMS. I am have never been so humiliated in my life. After that happened they let me go. No more job for me. I will never, ever, EVER be honest about my illness in the workplace again.
