Who do you tell about being in therapy and on meds? My husband knows and four friends who I hope I can trust, but that's it.
At work I felt like screaming it out at the top of my lungs during my performance review.
Evidentally someone I work with has been whining to our supervisor that I am moody, sarcastic, and angry. Oh, boy it's on my permanent record just like in high school. Won't that one be fun to explain if I try to transfer out of the mindless boring crud job I have to a different one in the company?
Since my supervisor is an MD, you'd think she'd notice signs of depression? Nope. Do I tell her? Do I want to tell her as that could make the situation worse?
I think I know who the whiner is and I feel like going up to her and saying "I'm in therapy, on antidepressants, and ambien doesn't help me sleep. Thanks for helping me really hate myself."
So, who can I tell, who can't I tell? I don't want people calling me crazy behind my back, but I don't want anyone ratting me out behind my back, either.
If I could get a new job I would, but I try and try and fail and fail.
Help.
