laurie02, Sounds like you had a "Monday". Telling you not to worry about the box lady wont help much I know. It is unfortunate that when accidents happen nowadays people lawyer up and want some money for something that was unforseen and unavoidable. Your boss is a putz, but his butt is on the line and he is going to blame you for the accident. Its CYA syndrome. Even tho you did the correct thing by getting a supervisor (witness now). It totally suks that this incident happened. Then to have him not understand enough and let you go home was ****py too. You did [b]great[/b] considering all that you have on your plate right now. I would not have been able to handle all those symptoms at work, so you get a huge "atta girl" for that. I complain all the time that life never gives us a break when we are struggeling with anxiety/panic. It goes on and keeps throwing more adversity our way. That is why it is so important to use your tools for coping all the time, until they become automatic. Just like you learned to drive a car, you need to learn how to cope with stress in a positive way so it doesnt back up and give you anxiety and panic. Anyway kiddo, you had a rotten day for sure. You deserve a break now, so treat yourself as a best friend. (((hugs)))

Hi laurie02, Try not to worry about what happened at work today. Accidents do happen and thats all this was. And with the guy with the dogs just put that down to some people are just nasty. And as for your boss, I feel he could of spoken to you alot better than he did. Ruby.............. :)

I had such a wonderful day yesterday things were good and then I woke up this morning, should have stayed in bed. took the dog for a walk I have a bichon frise (a little fru fru dog) and some guy yelled at me because he was two cm on his lawn. I coward and apologized and said do not worry i try not to let it happen again, but i was thinking was put a fence up you jerk if you don't want dogs on your lawn. then I get to work and well (info you'll need) last week i was straighting up a shelf at work (i am a retail merchandiser) and a box too high for me to see was unstable and fell over my head and hit this elderly lady. I ran to get a supervisor to help her and everything was okay so I thought, her daughter has now got a lawyer, and my boss took me in the office today to explain that this was my fault this happened as I was irresponsible. getting called into the office started me hyperventilating and after the session was over I started to get that funny feeling in my stomach that tells me a panic attack is beginning. I wrestled with it and could not concentrate on anything I was doing after that. I then asked to leave work as I was very anxious and shaking and very scared. He said we do not have enough staff we need you to stay. this was very trying for me I wanted to cry but I could not for some reason, all I could concentrate on was the tightness in my chest and trying not to start my head from twitching, which as you know can be very embarrassing. I want to feel good that I made it through this day, but all i can think about is how sick I am and a room with a view a bed and three squares a day would suit me just fine right now, how do people expect us to put up with such stress all the time? business is business, but what about the human aspect. I am not a robot, I can not just shut it off I have feelings! I know this sounds angry but I am worried this stress will cause me to have a manic episode.
