This is a touchy topic for me. I'm a high producer, but my clinical depression (way before alcoholism came into the game) has been a big contributor to my reliability. I struggle with absenteeism and that is so frustrating to me because I know my worth. And most companies have a stigma against hiring anyone with mental health or substance abuse issues. ****** for me as I face a divorce that will show my horribleness while drinking. It will probably ruin my professional rep too.
