Shut up, brain!

[(Anonymous)]

I made a major mistake at work on Friday, and I've convinced myself that I'm going to be fired tomorrow, despite there having been no indication from my boss that that's in the cards. I keep thinking, "he couldn't say that at the time, he's gotta talk to his boss and then to HR, my head could still be on the chopping block." There's absolutely nothing I can do about it at this moment, and nothing I can do about it in general, and I know that; if they want to can me, then they're going to can me. But I can't stop my thoughts from circling the drain. It fucking sucks. I've never wanted Monday to come so badly, just so I can know the actual consequences for my fuck-up, and know whether I still I have a job.

Thanks for listening.

Oh man, I feel this so much. For about ten years, I felt like any mistake was going to lead to me being fired, and I made a LOT of mistakes. So many evenings and weekends being sure I was getting fired. It was only once I became the head of my team that I finally don't get that pang of fear anytime my manager asked to speak with me out of the blue.

Oh no, so sorry nonny. I feel this too. I eat myself up over the tiniest little things, and I always find a way to blame myself even for things that aren't remotely my fault.

I hope things are okay. Everyone makes mistakes. Your boss should know that. I really hope you find understanding and support at work.

I can't put it better than philstar has. I wish I had at least some suggestions for how to ease the feelings of self-blame.

If it helps. Finding new people major sucks and is an annoyance to management. (Yes, yes, there are different situations, but we are talking about normal work)
So mistakes usually result for a worker in talking with or taking some bonuses max. You will be okay!

My condolences nonny. I have been there more than once. All you can do is try to keep yourself calm and remind yourself of other possibilities, not just focus on the worst case scenarios. Which I understand doesn't always work and you're going to keep thinking of the worst possibility, but reminder that it's your anxiety doing most of the work, not the actual factual state of how things really are.

Best wishes and good luck!
