How to Create a Stigma Free Workplace

Advised to keep my issues to myself. This was to refrain from being judged and labeled.

My work performance in some areas had been suffering a bit. I shared with my superiors that I was having issues both Mentally and Physical and that I was willing to accept any suggestions closing my email with thank you for your support and understanding. 

Well I never received an answer to that email. So out of sight out of mind just to continue on like I always did hobbling along the best I could hoping for things to get better.

I have moved on, but the conversation and experience has stayed with me. 

I learned despite how much we say as a people and not just in the work place when we say we are here to support and help do we really mean it or do we just want to appear nice.  

We as coworkers can still be supportive while still remaining professional.
