I've just joined and briefly explained what brought me here in the introduction part of this forum. I just feel like I need to just talk to someone or tell someone how I feel without feeling like I'm putting someone out.
I haven't had an anxiety attack for months so everything obviously was too good to be true for too long. I work 2 jobs, one of which is part time retail. Around Christmas time just gone I was attacked at work (punched in the face) by a man with his hood up and he took the money from my till. I've been obviously shook up, angry, and having constant anxiety attacks and not sleeping. I went to the doctors and spoke to work and the doctors got me on medication and work is supporting me and I've been having counselling through work. I'm at the point now where I've stopped crying all the time, feel not as anxious as I have been since Christmas and still on meds. However I still feel anxious and worried about people thinking I should be over it by now (2 months later). I don't want people thinking I'm just trying it on. I know it's the anxiety talking but it doesn't stop me feeling like I'm putting this on my colleagues at work who have all had to support me when I've been in work because I have moments where I panic and need to go into the staff room to take 5 mins to get myself together and use some techniques to stop feeling really anxious.
I don't expect anyone to know what to say to this, the police haven't caught the guy cos of the hoody covering his face so I'm just in worry that he'll come in again or I'll bump into him. This is the main reason I joined because I think I've talked everyone else's ear off about this so many times I just hope they don't think I'm being silly. Thanks for listening, I just had to get this off my chest. :secret:
