I’m struggling and I don’t know what to do

I’m going to try to keep a long story short to protect my own privacy and the privacy of others involved.


i faced major trauma at work. I’ve had a week off but i return to work tomorrow morning and im torn up inside. Quitting isn’t really an option as there aren’t really many job openings in my profession close to where I am and I’m struggling financially as it is. I feel like I’m going to throw up at any moment and I don’t know what to do. This is more of a rant than anything.

I respect you trying to protect your privacy and that of others, and I'm sorry that you faced a major trauma at work. Obviously, I'm not sure what exactly it is--it could be a lot of things, but I can tell how deeply it is affecting you as you took a week off and still feel torn up about things. I really feel for you, it sounds like you don't have many options and can't just walk out either, so it's no wonder you're not sure what to do with the events that took place. It may be a rant, but your feelings are important, and you deserve to have a space to talk about things, especially since it seems like you don't have many other places to turn to. I hope you please take care and am wishing you the best.

Im so sorry you are dealing with so much.  Going back to a place where a trauma happened can be scary and anxiety provoking.  What are some things you can do on your first day back to help manage your anxiety at work?

I have the support of my coworkers and they’re willing to cover me if I need a quick break/moment. it’s just about surviving the day at this point I think
