Re: Are you honest about your mental health at work and school? - September 20th 2017, 07:17 PM

Unless I needed an accommodation specifically for depression or anxiety, I wouldn't bring it up. Once I had a consistent schedule, I did my best to arrange things around it. If I have to schedule something during my normal hours I either request off or request a change for my hours on the day of my appointment, and if they denied it I would tell them it's for an appointment and can't be changed on short notice. It's not that I'm ashamed or uncomfortable, it's partly due to the fact that they can work around discrimination protections and mostly that my health and life outside of work is none of their business as long as it doesn't bleed over.
