I've lost my mind, gone hysterical again, at work. I can't stand myself right now. I'd like to tell everyone to go f*ck themselves and cry at the same time. .....f*ckers

This happened to me too many times, sleepygirl. I kept down-sizing my jobs, thinking that it was work stress or too much responsibility, or *something* I could get control of.
Finally I accepted that my anxiety and depression had the upper hand and I asked to be released from employment. that was last March, and it has been a tough slog since.
In the past month and a half I feel that some real healing has started to happen... I know that I could not have done any of this if I'd tried to continue to work. There just wasn't enough of me to keep all the balls in the air. it didn't seem to matter what med I took, or how many walks around the building I made, or timeouts in the bathroom while I sobbed and tried to get myself together. Nothing helped.
that's my story, anyway. I can really relate to falling apart at work. Any possibility that you can take some time off for yourself to recuperate?take care - ClearSkies

Hang in there Sleepygirl. I have days like that too - mostly only the ones that end in 'y' ;-)
Oo-oo, better yet, hold that thought, get on a plane and come deliver that message to my lot. I'm sure they'd rather hear it from you.
Seriously. Sorry you're feeling like that it sux. You've had a fair bit going on and a good scream and cry probably wouldn't hurt. Sometimes you just need to release a bit of the pressure that's building up.
Sending soothing, calming thoughts.

I'm sorry.
Do you have anything you do to relieve stress when you feel like this? Like taking a ball bat to some junk furniture or pumpkins in the yard while visualizing those f-ers at work?
Sometimes it feels better after breaking something big and hearing it make a lot of noise. It gives you back the power, know what I mean?

You guys are just gifts from above...or where ever nice things come from
My boss was angry at me....I told her they treat me like I'm stupid basically - projection or not, well..there it is I said it- the thing is I'm a bit too emotional right now to be terribly diplomatic. I work in mental health (can we say HA!!) - it seems I'm a bit too indulgent of our patients. There was one going on a pass from the inpatient psych unit saying she wasn't coming back so I tried to reason with her before she left. I guess I involved myself with the "drama" that we must avoid and earned myself the scarlet "D".Anyway I feel like a good breeze could blow me over at this point. I went out - I've been sobbing at fairly regular intervals for a good part of the day now. My eyes are so red - my nerves are shot, if someone looks at me the wrong way I just might fall apart. In the midst of this...somehow...I went to the gym (an attempt at self-care) sobbed on the way, sobbed on the way home, sweaty and sobby, sobby and sweaty. This is NOT good functioning.
My sister had her 2nd brain surgery since August after a mild stroke (she had a benign tumor and there were swelling complications) a few days ago - I think the whole affair freaked me out a bit, and continues to. She's fine now, or she will be.
I will be OK eventually after I wrap myself up again.
Anyway,
Thanks

i have days like those too.
sometimes... they feel like weeks.
well... kind of like those.
i lock the door to the office and have a good cry.
and when things are real bad i start comtemplating the three floors beneath me out the window...
but anyhooit can be hard to work when you are emotional :-(
and it sounds like a bit is going on for you...
and it sounds like you have one of those fairly high stress jobs where stuff comes up.
and i bet you deal with it great when you are in a better place.
nobodies perfect. we all have bad days... and things turn to custard sometimes..
hang in there.

Everyone loses control once in a while...it's human nature. I hope you forgive yourself for it. Emotions are difficult things to handle sometimes, especially when we're not feeling the best.
