Divulged a lot of personal issues to colleague..

So,

Was out last night with work crew for party and got chatting with a colleague.

I was extremely drunk and don't know what triggered it but I ended up blabbering about a lot of my personal issues.

How bad? Well, I mainly spoke about my depression, the various times I wanted to commit suicide etc..

Too be honest I don't mind the fact that she knows all of this now. I am quite content with it all and would tell anybody who wants to know.

What I am embarrassed about is the way I went about it. Kind of badgering her with it all and it was a bit of scene that other colleagues would have noticed.

I feel that this is something that can't be left as is. I feel the need to bring it up Monday morning just to apologies for all of it and just put it behind us. The trouble is that I may find it difficult to get her alone to say this.

Any ideas on how you would approach this "damage control"?

Also, feel free to share any bad stuff like this that occurs on drunken work nights, might make me feel a bit better as i'm feeling really low today.

Thanks so much for reading

You don't need more than a few seconds to deal with it: "Sorry for unloading on you the other night; blame the drink.". Then get on with things.

We have all been stupid or unguarded at times, and often we don't need alcohol to cause us to say or do things we regret.

Look, everybody at one time or another makes a complete arse of themselves when out for a night, last night was your night!! Don't beat yourself up about it, at some stage your workmates have done the same thing, just mention to that girl that you made an arse out of yourself and leave it at that and get on with things, We've all done it!! :-)

Thanks guys,

Really trying to figure out how to go about this.

It has brought me right down this weekend.

If I had a euro for every time I made a bell end of myself at a work function that was talked about after then I wouldn't be in bed at 4pm on a Sunday.

Don't worry about op; time is great for forgetting things

Hi Guys,

I didn't realise I never replied to this.

Thanks everybody for the help. I made it through.. still talk to the colleague, not the same but it's still not awkward.

Cheers
