Re: Telling a boss or teacher about your anxiety or depression - March 1st 2015, 01:47 PM

I have a similar problem. When I'm feeling "under the weather" I typically tell my boss that I'm not feeling well. I haven't disclosed to her that I have permanent mental health illnesses, but she knows that something is up. Usually she gives me extra breaks in between the day when I'm having a day where it's really just overwhelming.

I guess it's okay to disclose that you have anxiety and depression. They'll probably be understanding. You just have to be honest about what you're dealing with and what you need.
