hey, @tyme sorry, I am sometimes not very clear about things, sometimes I don’t even know till I get asked

I guess I’m wondering if anyone understands and if they know anything I can do to help myself. I feel like it’s uncontrollable and since everything happened I feel horrible and I can’t seem t get it out of my head. Is there’s something I can do to help myself in the future, I have a tendency to think about really dark thinks really quickly and it’s heavy.

situations like it, I’d Usually talk about it with the person but he’s my boss so I feel like it’s weird for me to talk to him a certain way. And even if I did, he’d just say I’m stupid and that I shouldn’t care what anyone thinks, I know because he’s said it before. Like today, he called me restarted because I struggled to talk to him about something simple.

so I’m at a loss, is there anyway I can help relieve this heavy, guilty and horrible feeling I have on my chest?

Hey buddy @Hazard357 ,

Believe it or not, it's happened to be A LOT (in the past).

A tiny thing happened and I'd ruminate over and over and over....

The thing in, from experience, the next day, NO ONE even brought it up. They didn't even notice. Mark my word, 9/10 times, I'd made a mountain out of a mole hill in my mind...

Would you consider "parking" it for tonight, and then see what you still think of it tomorrow?

All the best. I'll wait to hear from you.

I took your advice @tyme and slept on it

I feel a bit clouded and foggy this morning, I’m still thinking about it but it has lessened a bit. I’m still a bit nervous about seeing him and contemplating saying something but I also recognise that it’s stupid for me to think about something so small for so long. So I hope I can work on letting it go today

Hi @Hazard357

I think we all relate to missing a goodbye and feeling rude and wondering if we should apologise. None of us are perfect social creatures all the time. I know it doesn’t make the wondering any easier though. I’m glad you were able to sleep on it and it’s taking up less real estate today. I hope in time you’ll be able to be a bit kinder to yourself and realise it’s okay to make mistakes.
