im afraid of my boss too. she is physically imposing as well as an authority figure. i am afraid to write the details here that somebody may recognize and tell her.....how silly is that. i am constantly afraid of getting in trouble. but my boss is fair and i am really good at my job so this is an irrational thought. it is just my anxiety running wild. the thing is, i know from experience, if i sit down and talk with my boss about my anxiety, (she knows about my mental illness) she will do whatever she can to alleviate it because she cares about me.
