it seems dicey to tell people you're depressed. They'll either be very understanding, or they'll tell you that youre doing it because youre getting some benefit from it. :/

Yeah I wouldnt have given your employer your blog address and it was a good idea that you changed it. I know I deleted my blog and put it on a site where I needed a password to access it.

I believe depression is included under the Americans with Disabilities Act, so to echo what has already been said, I don't think you could be fired just for that. All the same, it sounds like your boss crossed an ethical boundary when he asked you for the web address of your blog. Because of the power differential, I would imagine that it would have been really hard to say "no" to that. There was a line in your post about "making your own problems," but your boss's inappropriateness is NOT your fault.

It does sound like a dilemma now, what to do about your blog. I don't have the answer, but I'm sorry that you are going through this. Hang in there.
