I did disclose some of my MI to my Principal at the time I became unwell @Ultravox and it could not have been better received - she was absolutely behind me all the way until she left. More recently I have alluded to my mental health but not disclosed exactly. In our team there are several others who have their own ongoing issues so in a way it is through our own lived experiences that we can both relate to, support and care for each other - often with nothing needed to be said as we just now.

I am frightened to tell the boss. I personally find the stigma too much. I have even found my doctors don't take me seriously sometimes when I have a medical concern because I have a mental illness. I guess I fear tge boss will use it as an excuse when anything happens

Hi BlueBay, that was not very nice to happen at all to employ you, only to be cut and your hours given to two juniots. Some employers take advantage of employees. Might be good to find out your rights at Fair Work Commission.

Hi Chibam, it is difficult like you said to decide on what career or course to do at times. At TAFEs they sometimes have a Skills and Careers person who you can speak to to explore your strengths and interests to find out what best fits your situation.
