Thanks for your thoughts, goofygirl and silver..
well, I saw my GP, which, yes, is General Practitioner,. I sort of asked indirectly...and she was really nice, saying that if my manager needs to know, or keeps asking, I can say depression so as to say something...and we smiled at each other, like we both know a secret, and that it's ok...
I felt actually good about this----I don't have to be labelled or 'boxed up', I can be me and grow in my own way and be free....
It probably sounds kind of strange, but I found it rather healing...
I AM NOT REJECTED.....
