I work in a small office with psych nurses...we are
all very bonded and personal with each other. It seemed
natural that I tell them about my depression. When I was
experimenting with going off medication, I told them. For a couple
of months, I was a real mess, and yes, my performance really suffered.
I was feeling suicidal (although I KNEW I wouldn't do anything)...and I
made the mistake of telling my nurse co-worker. Well she, of course, went
to the boss with it (who is a psychiatrist) and I was told I needed to go back on my meds or they
weren't sure if I could do the job anymore. That pissed me off, and I
was even more pissed at myself for being so stupid to be open with
all that stuff. We got it straightened out, and now I just don't talk
about all that stuff. One of the nurses asked me how the med stuff was going
and I told her I was no longer going to discuss that stuff. So they don't
know that I'm still med free. But I'm not in that bad space anymore, things
have settled. I was just going through some horrible withdrawal (first from zoloft
then from effexor which was ungodly). I probably just should have taken some time
off, looking back, and not said anything to anyone.
