🔥 The Great Resume Debate: To Share or Not to Share? 🤔

Our protagonist finds themselves in a sticky situation when trying to help their friend land a job. 💼 The friend, who has been diligently managing their bipolar disorder, included their diagnosis on their resume - which may explain the radio silence from potential employers. 📻 Our hero suggests removing the personal info, but the friend's girlfriend disagrees, saying it's part of who he is. 💑 Now, our conflicted advice-giver is left wondering if they made the right call. 🤷‍♂️ The internet has some thoughts on this one, so let's see what they have to say! 🗣️

Bipolar disorder isn't something to be proud of, NTA.
