Unfortunately, life is just a bit of a roller coaster, but with depression, those dips can get pretty big and pretty sketchy.
You are definitely not alone, my friend.
I think it would definitely be a good idea to tell your boss about the depression. It's not something to be ashamed of, and doesn't make you less of a human. It just means you are like anyone else, not perfect, not having everything all together, and searching for a way to get through this crazy life.
Good luck, my friend. Hang in there. I believe in you!
