Had my yearly evaluation yesterday. It went very well, happy to say. During the evaluation I mentioned that I've been trying really hard to get my times down, and that my medication and therapy was helping with that.
My boss is a very nice guy with many years of experience so this didn't seem to phase him. His response was "I'm proud of you. Not everyone is strong enough to get help when they need it."
That was that. It was probably just me, but I started feeling paranoid afterwards. Did he think that I was crazy now?
So...
I text him today:
"I'm sure this is TMI but I wanted you to understand.
I go to therapy for PTSD related to sexual assault. I was having difficulty working with men and counseling male customers. That is what I'm fixing.
You don't have to respond, I just thought you needed to know.
Plus, it's good practice for me."
His response:
"Good for you, I am proud to say you are a friend."
So I guess that's a good thing...
I feel better with him knowing, but also a little paranoid about it.
