10. "i've negotiated a reassignment before because of mental health" In response to In response to 0
it was rough. and the people i worked with, though they tried very hard to be supportive, really didn't get it.
but i'm learning (hopefully i've learned) how to be more proactive and communicate my mental health needs and limits before new projects and assignments happen.
i love my work and i love working hard, but most people who go into my profession have completely different mental states and theories of mind, so it can be lonely and stressful if i don't go out of my way to communicate that.
