Hi all,

I narrowly escaped being admitted to the psych ward after a night in the ER. While I was there, my boyfriend left my supervisor a voicemail. She just called him to check in and let him know that the office is thinking of me and if I need more time to please take it. I've gotten three texts offering well wishes, one of them not on my team but still a friend. My boyfriend didn't reveal any information about why I was there. 

Have you been in this situation before? How did you handle it? How did you respond to questions? I'm going back to work tomorrow and there will undoubtedly be questions. I want to be an advocate for mental health but I also really don't want people to know what my mental illness is like.
