Yes, thank you; I have been on the other side of that, helped a bipolar boss who suddenly had a bipolar daughter struggling and let her know I had mental health issues too so would be sympathetic to her discussing it (I didn't know at the time she was bipolar, she was just being secretive to the extreme and I had the feeling it was about mental health issues). She was much more relaxed and comfortable after sharing with me, didn't have to keep so much in.
