I don't think I've ever cried at work but I have definitely felt a near-suicidal despair. Like seriously considering walking out into traffic. |

I refuse to cry at work. I'm not going to let them win. Besides, I stopped giving a gently caress so what's to cry about. |

I don't know if I don't get panic attacks or if I just don't know how to identify them I have cried at work for a lot of reasons ranging from stress to a particularly sad Chumbwambwa song playing.

The first one I ever had I remember thinking I was about to die, something terrible was about to happen and I was going to die and everyone I loved was going to die and and and. I was like, nine. It took me until I was 22 to get diagnosed with anxiety properly, and until a few years ago to get a full diagnosis of PTSD.

I had a panic attack at work because I had to go up in a boom lift for the first time. It broke and I got stuck swaying over a rack of active steam pipes while the operator was on the phone with tech support. I'm actually still there. It's been six years. Please, send take-out. |

From my understanding there are a range of panic attacks. Mine were relatively minor. I'd mostly just kind of get so anxious or worried my brain would shut down and I'd kind of go limp like a ragdoll. It was very exhausting.

On the subject of panic attacks, they don't always manifest in the "my heart is racing oh no I'm gonna die" way. When I finally got around to finding a psychiatrist with the express goal of getting back on ADHD meds, they of course wanted me to tell them about whatever else I might consider a problem. I casually mentioned that I'd developed an odd habit of crying so hard I literally couldn't speak anytime I needed to talk about relationship stuff with my partner and I should probably get around to talking to a therapist about that soon. They immediately said "Oh honey, that's a panic attack." My fully in denial reaction was "What? No it's not. My heart rate doesn't noticably pick up and I don't feel like I'm hyperventilating. I just get a few words into a sentence about how I feel about possibly having a kid someday and start crying so hard the muscles in my mouth won't form words anymore because they're too committed to crying." They patiently explained that yes, really, that's a "textbook panic-attack", got me started on some low dose meds and set me up with the in office therapist. In hindsight I can look at it and realize that of course an immediate, extreme reaction to a perceived stressful situation is a panic attack. But at the time it really didn't fit the mental image I had for the term. |

Phone-posting so I'm not gonna try to format properly with quotes. That crying thing is bonkers. Multiple times a month!? I've cried maybe a handful of times at this job and I've been here over 12 years. I'm someone who cries at the drop of a hat at movies and books, but crying that much at work sounds so wrong to me. Get out of there! Run away from the situation that's making you that miserable! On new equipment: gently caress yeah! My boss is finally getting us set up with dedicated laptops and docking stations and I am stoked. My current set up for working from home 2 days a week is a borrowed laptop with a VPN connection to the office server connected to two monitors through a trial and error process to determine the right cords. Had to reestablish all my logins and preferences on the laptop and there are still a few things I haven't managed to carry over. Constantly realizing I need to input something to the HR software but I'll have to remember tomorrow when I'm in office because I can't remember my login credentials. To Chewbecca, I hope you find an escape route soon. Miserable jobs have a way of dragging down your whole quality of life. gently caress a job |

Farecoal posted:Didn't get the Starbucks job gently caress. I'm sorry. That's the worst feeling, getting rejected from a job you don't want, you just need. I still remember putting in an application for a job at a motherfucking dog food factory, telling from the reaction of the secretary I wasn't going to be getting it, and just thinking "What the gently caress?". I really hope you can find something soon. Does your city have an employment office? I used that before with limited success but it's an option.
