I do ok, sometimes, with stress, but right
now I am an inch from losing it and it's
for a stupid reason - at work I thought I
was being helpful and proactive when I was
filling in for my boss, she had a bunch of
website addresses in her browser window
(usually there are none) and I thought
hey, she probably doesn't want to lose
these, i'll jot them down for her.
She came in early next day, saw the list
and flipped out b/c one of the sites was
her bank and she thought someone'd had
stolen her identity or something (she
keeps her passwords in her desk). Called
her bank, called the police, then I come
in and say no no no, I just thought I was
helping! I feel like an fool, she's all
upset, two hours later..
I'm still having trouble breathing. I
have had little problems here and there on
the job, mistakes and misunderstandings,
and every time I feel like i'm going to
die. I spiral and spiral and quickly I
feel so bad I just want to quit, go home,
curl up in a ball in the closet and hide
from everyone. I don't want to even see
my kids, it just gets so out of control
and takes over everything, everything.
And I have no perspective on it at all.
