My coming out at work is underway, sort of.

On thursday I was feeling pretty down. Worrying if I was going to be able to find the courage to do this. Anyway a girl asked me if I was ok. I had previously confided in her a while back about my depression. And for some reason I just felt like I had to open up to her. Holding back my tears I told her I was ok and that Ive just got a lot on my mind. She hugged me and asked me if I was really ok...and I told her.
I couldn't have had a better reaction from her. She hugged me again and said she was so proud of me for coming to terms with this. And was super supportive.
Anyways, I went round hers last night to talk and stuff, to fill her in on everything. And she said that she told her friend at work (they're really close and tell eachother everything). She is really supportive too.
I spoke to her very briefly at work today and thanked her for her support. But I didn't think to say to feel free to ask if she has any questions. She hasn't asked any, and maybe the friend I came out to filled her in on everything already. But like, should I have said it anyway? It didnt cross my mind and I only just thought that maybe she felt like she would have been making me uncomfortable if she asked these things.
But at the same time I also don't want to come across as so self-absorbed that I want her to ask me stuff just so I can blab on about my life.

As you get to know her better you might make that offer to her.

I think you handled it just fine. She may ask some questions later, when she's had time to mull it over. and she probably doesn't want to spend work time discussing personal matters..

That is very exciting! Coming out at work is very liberating, for me it went alot better than i ever imagined! Its awesome you have already found two people who accept and appreciate you. I felt exactly the same when people came to me, they are hesitant at first but im really open. I will educate whoever wants to know sort of thing. Im sure you did just fine. Youll find some people may just need time to absorb it, then they may come back with questions and you find you have one of those lengthy conversations where you get to blab and they soak it up. And afterwords your super close
