I really wanted to call in and take a mental health day today. Depression has really been kicking my butt. I didn't though. I forced myself to come into work, thinking I could get distracted. I haven't though as there hasn't been a lot of work to be done yet, there may be more this afternoon. I really don't talk about my MI at work because I am afraid of the consequences but I did tell one of my coworkers who is in a supervisory position. She was really great about it. She made me feel very accepted. She said she would never judge me for that and to not be so hard on myself. Like @Mountaindewed, I really want to leave early today. But I don't have a good reason that I could use to leave early so I will stay. At work people think I'm competent so I don't want to make them think otherwise. Sometimes working with disorders can be very difficult. It cuts both ways too. Because I can go to work and do my job and work full time and volunteer, people think I'm doing better than I am. No, I just have bills to pay and I have to work to pay those bills. But I guess I hide it well, how much I struggle. I wish I didn't have to. But it isn't safe to disclose in the workplace too much about MI.
