Can I get some sanity juju? Or a virtual hug? Or a cocktail?

(Sorry in advance, this may quickly turn into a vent/pitty party)

Things at work are deteriorating (sp?) by the day.  Today I made a stupid mistake, and after two weeks of "one thing after another," I lost it.  I have a very strict no crying at work policy, but today I just couldn't hold it in any longer.  I know what I need to do, but for some reason the idea of change is leaving me paralyzed with the fear lately -- the last 2 years have been filled with change, so I don't know what I'm so afraid of.  I'm also worried I'm going to start having panic attacks again, which obviously not help the situation.  Job/sanity juju would be appreciated.  I also need the strength to start taking steps in a new direction. 

Re: Can I get some sanity juju? Or a virtual hug? Or a cocktail?

  • Lots of juju and wine.... 

     

    Do you have any Rescue Remedy?  It's really great.  I know there are some other homeopathics for anxiety but I can't think of them right now.  

     

  • Lots of job and sanity juju to you. I also had my "cry day" for the year this morning.

    I've heard of Rescue Remedy, but have never tried it - they sell it at Vitamin Cottage, I assume?  

  • I  can offer a hug, juju, and maybe the idea of a singleGNO in the near future.

    Yup and at WF.  

  • Must be something in the air. I'm feeling like I need a good cry myself!

    WR - I'd love that, I was hoping I'd finally meet you at CC - bummed you couldn't make it.  

  • Big hugs and juju... seems like it's in the air. 

    I'm having a rough patch myself, and even have perused Craigslist and updated my resume.  Hoping it just passes, since my job is actually very good and it seems silly to feel like leaving it, especially in this economy.  I blame PMS.

  • I'll send you all three...  happy sanity, maybe in the form of Music, a few DrinksBeerDrinks of your preference, and of course a zombie hug  Left Hug   Also an Umbrella to keep the sh!t at work off of you.

    I think several big changes like you've experienced over the last 2 years can add up until you do feel done, and you don't want to or don't feel you can deal with any more change.

     Oh, and for strength, there are no appropriate emoticons, so pick one of these as your inner badass self.

  • Honey you can have it all, and then some so hang in there and regroup...take some deep breaths...you are one strong gal and you will be fine when you stop to realize what you have overcome in the past two years.  You are a rock star A, big hugs and you can call me anytime you know that to vent/cry/rant.
