Worried I’ll lose my job

So I live in the UK and have bipolar so I’m protected by the equality act. Meaning I won’t face the same disciplinary measures as other people will. I have had a lot of absences these past 2 years. Last year was worse than this year though. All my absences have been written off so far. Last year I probably had about 10 different absences but it was a bad year for mental health. This year I’ve had a lot of “mental health days” and I’ve been physically ill a few times. I’ve probably been off about 6-7 times but they’ve only been short absences. I have so far got away with it but I worry what could happen in the future if I continue. I’m off sick today with a stomach bug (I’m mostly over it but I was looking forward to taking the day off too much). Anyone…
