yes. with many people working alongside and under me, in different agencies. i’ve struggled with hardcore mental health issues in the past and one of the most alienating, damaging things was the silence of my coworkers and managers. it made me feel like i had to perform like everyone else when i wasn’t capable. so now i make a point of breaking that silence; a worker needs to know he/she/they have a right to take care of themselves. these conversations can be hard, and employers are so gaslighted into performing under terrible situations they feel guilty about asking for time or actually addressing the issue. as a manager i feel my role is to unlock the door so the struggling worker can open it.
I brought up I wasn’t well mentally one time out with coworkers and the guy I asked if that happens to him or if he could relate looked uncomfortable and said no not at all so that’s the last time I do that
Absolutely. I was very clear about my experiences, my work-induced mental health challenges in an effort to prevent trusted colleagues from doing the same damage. It then created a safe environment for them to share, and turns out I inspired some to take a leave of absence, find help, etc.
Recently, another colleague contacted me to check in on me after a series of personal emergencies. It was unexpected and I appreciated it so much. As another mentioned, going through this is incredibly lonely and alienating, especially when your coworkers proceed as normal. Opening up was the best thing I did.
I hid my anxiety from my manager at my last agency because I felt like he would think I was weak if I told him. It was really severe then and I also think he contributed to it. I’m medicated now and can manage it better but it was a very scary time to feel weak at work and not be able to explain why I was slipping.

No.

I fear/feared doing so would end up working against me in the end. I have anxiety and depression but hide it. Working from home has been amazing and I’m contemplating having this discussion as a means to stay home for my mental health. Still not sure I want to do it.
I have a work bestie who I talk candidly with about it but we’re friends outside of work. On a related thread, I’m neurodivergent which also contributes to my mental health, but my condition is still fairly stigmatized so I avoid sharing at all costs.
