I took a big leap and ate at an awesome restaurant with family today. I've eaten there before, so I knew it was okay. Now I'm worried at the way I'm feeling. It's probably anxiety.
And Friday, I had a panic attack at work. Worst thing ever. I tried my best to keep cool, I couldn't breathe. I told my work that I'd eaten something I was allergic to and couldn't breathe. I went out in my car, took a nausea pill (because I was feeling nauseous, that's why I was panicking) and began to cry because I walked out of work (with permission, of course). Now, I went back in there to finish up my job. I worked an 8 hour shift that day. I went back to finish the 5 hours I had left. Should I look at myself as a failiure, or an accomplishment? I feel good that I finished the rest of my 5 hours, and heck yeah to a big paycheck this week. but still, that is my question. I also ate about 6 hours ago, and it was the only meal I ate. If I don't think the food is poisoned, I think I have the flu. If I don't think I have the flu, I think the food is poisoned. It's an awful way to live, being afraid of what you eat all the time. I got a new bottle of Buspirone and I'm reluctant to take it. Maybe I should just take it. We'll see. But my question is still at the top. Failure or accomplishment? Thanks. |

I think your not a failure. You accomplished your goal and finished out your day. You knew when you needed to leave to calm yourself down and you did that and you were able to go back into work and work another 5 hours. Good job.
Always remember this, no one is perfect. You are who you are and you make the best of it. You did the right thing and I am proud of you. Good job

I do not find you to be a failure either. You went back and did the best any of us could do. Good job.

Accomplishment; not at all a failure.
With that, I recognize mood disorders diminish or destroy one's ability to sense/feel accomplishment.

Big time accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself!
