I pretty much had to. I was crying at my desk nearly every day and having horrible daymares. Like I said earlier, I talked to my therapist and we decided it was best. I had a very understanding boss. She was great. She treated me the same as before. It really helped me to be able to tell her. After I "came out" I was able to come to her when I felt myself slipping. We would evaluate my workload and do some restructuring until I was better. It was a relief. My stress level significantly decreased!
