If you're managing your depression (as in, still getting to work on time and doing the job properly) I would be surprised if they even considered firing you. It would just be about predjudice if they did, and I think people are much more open minded about depression these days. It does affect so many people, I'd be surprised if your boss hadn't experienced it or knew someone who did... and doubt they would find it a reason to fire you. Only if you couldn't do the job.

If you were so ill that you couldn't do the job though, it would be in theirs AND yours interest to take a break, I suppose. But you sound as though you're doing ok with work..?

Hope you're feeling ok! and not stressed/worried about having shown your supervisor. I think it's not ideal they've seen it, I think these things feel safer if they're more private (not people we know reading them) but there's no shame in it. It's GOOD if your blog reaches out to others.
