So, I've had a job the last few months that I mostly like. My depression and anxiety issues are still a day-to-day struggle, but I haven't needed hospitalization since February. But, I had a work issue come up last week that is sending me into a bit of a tailspin. I had a client complain to my boss about a personal attribute of mine that the client found to be annoying. My boss, in my supervision meeting, actually started a big conversation with me about how maybe I could make this personal attribute (the sound of my voice) less annoying. !!! I think I handled it well in the moment, but I later started to struggle with it more. It doesn't exactly make me feel great about myself, or about going to work tomorrow. I have a little bit of clarity that my boss was being unhelpful and inappropriate in our conversation. I've also been struggling a lot more with depression and anxiety symptoms since it happened. I've only missed one day of work in the last 5 months. I don't want to get started down the road of missing lots of work because of my depression (something that has been a struggle for me in the past), but I really feel like I need a break from them tomorrow for my own sanity. Ugh. I'd welcome any thoughts that people have about this. Thanks.
