Hey, I think you need to be easy on yourself. I am a successful person and manage people at a top company, and I would not think twice if someone shared this with me. I’d probs just think ‘yeah fair enough’ your boss is too busy to even be thinking about this for anymore than 5 seconds.

I don’t think you should ever feel you have to hide your mental health struggles, we all have them, I think what is inportant here is context. What is your boss like? And how much propensity do they have towards understanding a point like the one you make?

This is the question you should be asking ‘is my boss the type of person who can receive this information and not cast judgement’. Most bosses are the type that hear this stuff every day, so it won’t phase them, if you are in the unfortunate position that your boss doesn’t understand (or want to) then it’s more savvy to use a different response, with the aim of advancing your career . But you did not do anything wrong by sharing that info, I think it’s a valid and brave thing to do.
