[quote=Anonymous]I’m guessing this person is feeling lost and is trying a mentoring program as some sort of lifeline. I realize this is likely more than what you signed up for OP and maybe not even what the program was intended for. But I think you did the right thing by not ignoring them. Whatever they ultimately need may be beyond the scope of mentoring so I don’t think you need to take on all this person’s personal issues. But if you do keep in communication with them, I think it would be a kindness to help steer them toward streamlining professional communications and learning what to disclose. As a side note, I wonder if this person has untreated ADHD (especially if a female). I think back to myself when I was younger and I had to reign in my tendency to overshare/over explain and could feel really overwhelmed by executive tasks (personal and professional ones). The rambling and oversharing strikes me as anxiety and/or ADHD. [/quote]
