Well, I suffer from panic disorder and a few weeks ago they became so bad I had to take 2 weeks off from work (short term disability). I went back to work but they are still pretty frequent. They make me physically ill....I throw up, etc. I asked my boss if I can work 3 days a week for a month or so and she was so uncompassionate and rude. She told me 'you look fine, I dont understand what is wrong with you'. Than I told her if its that much of a big deal that I will put in my notice, and she said 'do what you have to do, I dont care.' I was hysterically crying on the phone while she was saying these things. How ignorant can you be to say, 'you look fine, I dont see anything wrong with you'?
I cant lose my job now b/c I am closing on my house in a couple of week and getting married in 2 months. I def. want to look for a new job (I've been thinking about it for awhile), but it is hard now b/c I will need off for my honeymoon. Need some hugs!!!!

Re: Bad day....need your support and hugs
I frequently suffer from panic attacks too, but they are almost always at night before I go to sleep and typically when FI is working overnight and I am alone. There have been times when I have been near debilitated by them, so I know haow you feel. However, I try to drag myself to work, because when I am there, my mind is occupied by other things and I have rfelief for awhile, at least while I am there. If yours do not get better when you are at work, maybe they are parially brought on by your job and the discomfort that you feel when you are there. It seems that a new job is just what you need. Maybe a change will be the best thing! Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

You do not have to explain your problem to your boss. It's none of her business. Get a doctor's note and go to HR.

Re: Bad day....need your support and hugs
I am so sorry to hear that your boss is a horrible person. It's probally the last thing you need to deal with. She needs a good talking to. Is there anyone esle above her you can go to. If you need anything please let me know... Don't worry about her it will all work out. I hope your feeling a little better. If you need someone to vent to or need anything just ask Tyler for my Number. Forget the mean lady
