I’ve made a stupid mistake at work….. manager is aware, but we won’t know the consequences for a few weeks / months.
It could come to nothing, it could be massive- costing money and reputation (for me and the company).
Manager says we can only just wait and see as it’s too late to rectify and we will just deal with whatever consequences there may be. He was pissed off at first (it was such a basic error), but kindly when he realised how sorry I was.
I’m not coping with the uncertainty at all. I’m beside myself - anxious, crying at home, exhausted, not eating. Dr has prescribed propanalol (as I’ve struggled with anxiety before). I’ve requested some counselling as acknowledge this isn’t “normal” but there’s a wait.
I just don’t know how I’m going to cope over the next few weeks. I just want to run away from it all….
I would be grateful for any advice (I’ve no one to talk to other than the kids at home and I’m trying not to let them see me like this)
