Anxiety/panic at work

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and have found much support just from reading all your posts. I
send all of you positive thoughts and prayers as we travel this challenging road.

about a month ago I suffered a severe panic attack during a crisis at work (hadn't had one in years), and was placed on a leave of absence. HR is making me jump through many hoops to determine if I'm 'fit' to return to work. I have worked in my field for many years and have never had such a problem. I do expect to be cleared to return, and would like to, but don't know if I'm able due to my severe anxiety. My horrible boss does not want me there, and this only fuels my anxiety. I just started on Paxil one week ago.

I pray/meditate, work out, and have a wonderful therapist.

Thank you for listening!

Hi there. I'm sorry you're going through this, you are not alone. Life is hard enough without work stress. I hope the Paxil works for you.

There are tons of people in this world that are cruel. Some happen to be the people you know while others tend to be people you're stuck with for life.

Good for you; your boss is simply just this person who you happen to know. This person simply became your boss. nothing more, nothing less.

She's cruel, favoratises people and also two-faced. so what ?
here's a trick for you:
don't let her words interfere your work. As soon as you're back on your legs, do your best to please her even tho if she still treats you like trash.

Since she's a two face, there's no such rule that you can't be two faced too! Be nice in front of her. Be patient with her. Don't let your anger and anxiety take over you. Then, when you get back home;

1) print a picture of her face.
2) pin it on the wall or something similar like your wall (not glass!)
3) go buy darts from walmart or tesco or somesort of convenient store.
4) throw darts at her face.

-this method relieves anger. seriously, it does.

Anyway, get well soon! oh, and posting what you're feeling while you're feeling blue helps too (-: but still.. throw darts at that printed picture and you'll feel good in no time.
WARNING: Just DON'T EVER do that to a Real Person's face ok ?
