hi im 20yrs old work at a fast food restaurant part time and have been there for only five months. like a week ago i had and anxiety attack during a lunch rush which was followed by some flashbacks of a traumatic experience i had when i was little. since then my co-workers are distant and are no longer talking or joking around with me. and my manager has even cut my hours. should i be worried about losing my job??

rodchester,

Welcome to the forum. I think you should have a private sit down and talk to your boss and clear the air. So you are both on the same page.

Peace

well when it hit one of my coworkers notice and ask if I was alright. And then another start messing with me. My co worker got the other to stop messing with me then tried sending me on a thirty minute break but i refused it. and from what i was told all i did was get a little louder then normal and got the attention of our drive thru girls.

hi rodchester7,
I gotta admit, anxiety attacks are scary... and sometimes also shocks other people. Maybe your coworkers are just still shaken up a bit since the event.

I'm glad that your coworker got the other coworker to stop messing you, it's not even funny at all. Maybe the others are just distant because they're scared that it could trigger your anxiety attack again or some of your coworkers didn't even know that you were actually having an anxiety attack and thought of something else... something ridiculous even.

You could always talk it out with your boss and coworkers. I'm guessing that your boss is cutting your working hour because he's worried at you. I hope everything turns out okay :-)

Have a good day.

Much love,
Joanne
