I’m emotionally on edge currently.
I started a new role with another department which came with a significant raise. I knew the manager and he knows me. My dumb ass didn’t ask if there was a different telework schedule because I’ve been doing hybrid for years now and new manager knows that, and I thought with such a lateral move nothing would change.
Now I’m being told that I’m supposed to be in the office five days a week when I’m usually there three.
For whatever reason that, combined with the change in job duties and separating from a project I like, ended up with me having a panic attack and crying to myself in the car.
I feel like something is wrong with me. I know in my head it’s not that big a deal, or I could walk away, or work for a couple months and then revisit it. But emotionally I’m feeling the same thing as the time in my life I was depressed to the point of biweekly panic attacks and could cry at anything. I want to be home with my cats, I feel like I’m missing their whole lives. Plus I got slammed with a bunch of dysphoria out of nowhere and I just… it’s not a good week and I feel like I’m going insane with the emotional instability that’s going on.
There's nothing here!
