I wouldn’t stress about it. A lot of people can relate to what you described you are feeling. Has it been affecting your performance?
Oh no I wouldn’t be worried about that!

She basically messaged me saying that I did a great job on my presentation and that she really admired the tone and pace of it and how it was easy for her to understand because she has suffered with ADHD and then I thanked her and said that I totally understand I’ve had trouble with focus comprehending and anxiety so I can relate with having to re-read things multiple times until I fully get it and now I feel like I overshared and it’s in our IM platform for it to be permanently there forever

She shared about her ADHD first? Obviously I don’t speak for everyone with ADHD, but I like to think we have some understanding of anxiety and focus issues and won’t hold an admission of that against you.

Anyone who doesn’t have anxiety and trouble focusing during a pandemic has other issues. You can’t change the past, so forgive yourself and work on letting it go.
And focus on you; what can you be doing to improve your anxiety and focus? When it comes right down to it though, you’re perfectly okay. All of our troubles exist only in our minds. Acknowledge to yourself what happened, forgive yourself for how you’ve been feeling, learn from the experience, and then put that emotional memory on a raft and send it down the river.
From someone who also over stresses about past conversations and can relate, I can promise you this sounds like nothing to worry about - it sounds like a very casual response, and was in the context of you shining at work, so I am sure she just didn’t respond because it felt like the natural end of the conversation and she really thought nothing of it. Especially because she opened up about ADHD, it sounds like she definitely is not one to look down on any sort of mental health issue.
I think you’re over thinking it but it’s probably your anxiety. I have similar issues. It’ll make sense once you come out of this thought pattern. Focus on your performance and constructive feedback. You’ll be fone
Ignore your husband - he is insecure. Well done sharing this with others, I try to be as open as I can about anxiety :)
You shouldn't have - it happened.
We are now over analyzing it.
People throw around anxiety, depression, stigmas, add in the workplace all the time.
If you are worried you'll be branded or this'll be used against you, just don't touch on it again with others or this person unless they bring something up that opens for a genuine connection.
Oversharing happens. But it isn't ideal in the workplace, recognize as much. Information is power and snakes exist.
But you did meet her, but from your telling of events she didn't reciprocate.
You can be fairly sure even though it's in the chat; there is no way to use it, she can't show it without coming off as well small.
And you can always play it off as haha corona anxiety and downplay it.
Don't worry. You can control the narrative if a need arises. Lower your shoulders.
This is absolutely fine!!! Your anxiety might be making you anxious about sharing you have it! :-) same thing with me sometimes. Seriously I wouldn’t worry about this another minute.

I’ve been with company for 2 months and it was never brought up when I was hired or during the process not that it should be. It was really a casual convo and it naturally came up
