I told a few close friends and that was a big mistake. They told me things that happened to them and tried to make their experiences more important than mine and would ask why was I in therapy when they didn't need therapy..... And then once I was driving to an important meeting. I was driving on the beltway and I guess what happened to me was I was having a panic attack. I couldn't drive. It was like I didn't know how to drive and I got scared. I didn't even know if I was going to make it home, but I did.. I called the T and she told me to fib to my boss. Thing is I stink at fibbing so I told him I had a panic attack and he said ooooooo he has a friend that has panic attacks and he carries a paper bag in his pocket. He understood and didn't fire me.... But I think it really depends on the people who you tell.. I prefer keeping my private business to myself and tell as few people as possible. As far as telling the folks where I work, I do believe I'd keep my lips zipped and tell them nothing. If problems arise at work, I'd tell them the least amount of info and go from there.......

Oh and at another job I think I was filing something and a project manager came up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.. Well I almost jumped to the ceiling and screamed. When I composed myself I was so embarrassed and the manager said he was soooooooooooo sorry..... I didn't have to explain anything and I didn't feel the need to explain.. Again, I was lucky, but that was because I was well liked on the job. wipes brow
