Caught in a lie???

My family dr referred me to the mental health place in my city for therapy, but it can take years to see someone one on one, you're put on a waiting list. I was alled to participate in an 8 week group class that starts next Wednesday and is every Wednesday from 9:30 til 11:30.
I was worried about telling my manager tht I would need we'd mornings off for the next 8 weeks because 1) she's nosy as hell and would ask why and 2) in already limited on when I can work because I am a single mom of a three year old and the daycare closes at 6. She's
Already annoyed by the restrictions.
So I told her yesterday morning and she jut said ok. I thought that was it and was relieved she didn't ask. Well...later in the afternoon she asked why. I didn't know what to say so I said I was taking a class. She asked about what. I told her nutrition (I am interested in nutrition and want to study it as a career) she asked all sorts of questions about it and I made up some ridiculous lie. She asked go was giving the course and even looked up my drs name on her computer because I said he was offering the course. I was put on the spot in front of 3-4 other people, I didn't have time to make up a better lie. Now I'm worried she will know I was lying and ill have to admit its a course for people with depression. So stressed!

Sorry you had to deal with this.

If you get caught in the lie, just tell her the truth that you were embarrassed to tell the truth. I'm sure she would understand your embarrassment and hopefully understand. Good luck. Sorry you got caught up in this.

Sounds to me like she already believes you are lying. You had best go to her and tell her when she is alone so you don't have to do it publicly again. It will relieve a lot of stress for you--and this will go on the whole time of the class. She'll always be wanting to check out why you are going and what you are doing.

Best of luck to you!

I just sent her a text explaining...my stomach is in knots waiting for her response...

Just to let you know I believe depression is considered medical and its really none of her buisiness and its against hippa regulations for a boss to share someone's medical issue with other coworkers as well
