I don’t think you sounded silly. You’re right that a lot of people are very closed minded and only see things how they want to see them. And unfortunately, there is a lot of discrimination against people on subs and on pain pills, even if they have a legitimate reason. I guess it’s easy for me to not care what anyone thinks because I have no plans to ever find a different job, and I know that my current job can’t do anything about the medication I take. If my situation were different, I’d probably feel differently about it. Your plan sounds pretty good. Tell a couple people that you trust and think will be understanding, and see how that goes. If you want to, that is. If not, there’s nothing wrong with keeping it to yourself either. Whatever makes you feel comfortable, that’s the best way to go Smile
