Boss

My boss called today six weeks after mastectomy and diep flap reconstruction (bilateral) not to ask how I am hod forbid, to get my address for a bouquet of flowers or anything. HE WANTED TO KNOW WHEN IM COMING BACK for the love of god I need a nap from the exertion of showering! My wounds are still debrieded daily! I need love sympathy and support not stress
My job is physically taxing, mentally exhausting and emotionally draining
No just no

A few weeks ago, I told my boss I was switching meds and they may start to effect my memory & concentration. At that time he mentioned a different position in the department he wanted me to move into if I was interested. He told me at the time that the idea of memory & concentration issues kind of concerned him as far as the position change because I’d be learning something completely different, but to just take it one day at a time & keep him posted with how I was feeling. He said he had been wanting me to do it since I mentioned I completed a certificate program related to it back in January. Today he told me that in light of what I told him, they’re going to post for the position and get someone who has outside experience with it. He said down the line I could still move over to that job but I would just learn from someone who knows more about it than the girl who is currently doing it.

I’m really torn on how to feel here. On one hand, he pretty much just admitted discrimination considering he’s going simply by what I told him and not based on any change in my performance. It makes me really regret telling him & it doesn’t make me want to be honest with him going forward. I feel like I haven’t really experienced anything like this before.
On the other hand, he was pretty great when I first told him I’m bipolar back in March. He’s checked in on me a few times and tried to identify areas of my job that could become problematic and work on solutions for them. He’s talked to me about it quite a bit & asks questions & actually listens to and remembers what I say.

So am I upset that I was passed over, or do I appreciate that he was at least honest with me? # dilemma #Work #Boss #Bipolar

About six months back I told my boss I’m bipolar. He was pretty good about it, and he’s checked in on me a few times since. This week my psychiatrist is changing my meds. Should I be giving my boss a heads up? I noticed one of the side effects of the new one is memory issues. I was having memory & concentration problems before that were effecting my work performance, which is how we ended up having the discussion on the first place. #Bipolar #Work #Boss #meds

Last week, I told my boss I’m bipolar . We’ve been remote for the last year, & I stopped going to therapy the same week. I know that being home so much is not great for my mental health, & my work performance has been less than stellar.

We talked a little bit about going to therapy & making sure I’m taking my meds. He was pretty good about it.

But holy hell, I thought I had anxiety about it BEFORE I told him. I literally have so much anxiety NOW THAT HE KNOWS that I can’t even sleep. I feel like he’s always going to be thinking about this now when he talks to me. I’m literally obsessed with the fact that he knows now 😩

I hate my job, and I’ve been actively looking for another, but my boss has crossed another line. He’s called me a dumbass and fat ass(he commented on how many Kit Kat’s I’ve ate today 🙄) and I allowed it because, well, he’s my boss, and I don’t know what to do in these situations. He also made fun of my anxiety again, saying it’s made up and that anxiety isn’t an actual thing. What kinds of things can I do? Is there anything legally I can do?
