Before You Say a Word About Bipolar Disorder at Work… Read This.

One wrong sentence can cost you your career. 

This free checklist gives you the 10 questions you MUST ask yourself before you open your mouth.

Let me tell you something brutally honest:

Every single day, high-performing professionals with bipolar disorder gamble their careers away…

not because they’re weak, not because they’re unqualified…

but because they blurt out the truth at the wrong time, to the wrong person, in the wrong way.

One rushed confession can turn into:

  • Whispers behind your back.

  • Lost promotions.

  • Your boss quietly moving you off the big projects.

On the other hand, silence can eat you alive.

The mask gets heavier, the stress builds, and burnout comes knocking.

It’s a trap either way… unless you know how to play the game smarter.

That’s what this checklist is for.

Inside, you’ll get 10 Smart Questions that put YOU back in control:
  • The single most important question that keeps you from oversharing out of panic

  • How to figure out exactly who needs to know (and who should never know)

  • How to sniff out whether your company is actually safe for disclosure—or just pretending

  • What the law says about YOUR rights (and how to use it to your advantage)

  • The perfect way to phrase your disclosure so you sound professional, not “fragile”

  • How to prepare for the worst-case scenario (so you never get blindsided)

  • Scripts you can steal to make the conversation short, sharp, and powerful

This isn’t theory. This is the hard, practical stuff nobody ever tells you.

I scanned the checklist and read a few pages, and so far, I'm loving it! Written well and speaks the truth of a high-functioning bipolar at work.

The Smart Disclosure Checklist was exactly what I needed. The 10 questions helped me pause, think clearly, and avoid impulsive disclosures that could hurt my career. As a freelancer working with multiple clients, it gave me a structured way to decide what to share, who to tell, and how to protect both my energy and my reputation. It’s a must-have tool for anyone navigating work while managing bipolar disorder. (photo was edited to conceal the real identity of the owner)

Because I’ve seen too many brilliant, capable professionals get crushed by stigma—not because of their illness, but because they didn’t have a strategy.

I built this checklist to give you a weapon: a way to slow down, think smart, and protect everything you’ve worked for.

Disclosure is not about bravery. It’s about strategy.

My name is AF Garcia. I’m a psychology graduate, former HR professional, entrepreneur, and someone who’s lived the tightrope walk of being “high-functioning” while managing bipolar disorder.

I’ve made mistakes. I’ve also found the strategies that let me keep my career, my energy, and my peace of mind.

This checklist is the one I wish I had years ago. And now, it’s yours—free.

You’ve got two choices:

1. Roll the dice, open your mouth at work, and pray it doesn’t blow up in your face.

2. Or… download this checklist, get clear on your strategy, and protect your career BEFORE you make a move.

Which one sounds smarter?

No spam. Just the clarity you need to stop guessing and start protecting yourself.
