Accidently told my colleague about being DX schizophrenia and bipolar

She was talking about knife crime and psychos roaming the street. And I said the mental health system is really bad around here. Brought up my aunt’s DX who had schiz and then said she needs help but won’t get it. Some how I shifted it to me saying I used to be diagnosrd as schiz and I didn’t tell people for them thinking I’m psycjo. Wtf did I do

I’m sorry @anon80629714 but this may backfire on you in a major way.
It did for me when I made the grave mistake of confiding in one colleague about my bipolar dx years ago at work.

Soon half the work site knew about my dx and they gave me a hard time.

Let’s hope that this colleague of yours doesn’t engage in gossip.

Dont worry I always tell people by mistake lol.

For some reason i find people to not even bother, they to caught up in their own life and their own problems

I know @Wave it’s backfired everytime. But i don’t learn. Also don’t think I’m well so revealing a bit too much.

This has happened before @anon80629714?

Yes it has @Wave. Not only about my DX but I’ve revealed other personal details of my life. Like who I slept with to my colleagues.

It’s ok @anon80629714 hopefully nothing negative will come from this.
Sounds like you are a bit too trusting at work though.
Try to be a bit more discreet.

I’ve worked here 8 months I think I should have kept it shut. I’m not trusting. I’m clearly not on my right mind.

While I was talking with my aunt and my cousin, we said something about schizophrenia, and I said “I hear Jesus”
