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.

Thank you for caring, yes, I am functioning well. I recently decide to stop taking sleeping medications and alcohol which has improved my mood and made me safer. I also moved my blog to a new address

Your a goddess for caring!
I will not forget your kindness.
