So I got ripped a new one by my boss's boss!!! I won't get into details so as to protect privacy. Part of what I was chewed out for was my fault and part was not. Never-the-less, I feel just awful and am embarassed to show my face back at work. I suffer from what I refer to as "good girl syndrome". I always want to be good at my job and put alot of pressure on myself to show I am dependable. I feel like I have let others down. I tend to harp on certain things and this is one of them. I will fret over this for weeks. I wish I could just let it go and move on. I feel like everyone at work will be talking about me behind my back! Anyway, just wanted to vent! I feel better. Thanks for reading!

Oh, I have the disease, as I call it as well. I'm so anal retentive and I own it. I completely understand having it bother you but the reality is that no one is perfect and mistakes happen.

well, whats done is done and i sure alot of us had this done to us.....its over.....accept it for what it is...and tomorrow walk into work with your gorgeous head up, shoulders back and highest heels on...you got this...so it was a minor step back....now take a huge step forward....

Well, so I see we are kindered spirits as I tend to do the same thing. I will rehash it over and over and over until that is all I think about. Everyone that has commented is right of course, hold your head high and face everyone at work tomorrow with your head high. You are a very smart, articulate, funny, caring woman and frankly, **** happens. Make any amends that you HAVE to and move on. You got this! Don;t let this be a "reason" to fall into old eating habits tonight, that will only add insult to injury. {{hugs}}

......and see that you don't! It's not worth it, at all!

I see there are a few of us with the same affliction I'm the SAME way! I will obsess about a mistake, a conversation that didn't go well; play it over and over in my head until I'm beyond crazy. I repeat the conversation in my head, and go over what I'm going to say, what they will say, blah blah. It's nuts!

Pink, here is what I've learned in my 58 years of neurotic thinking. Number ONE: WORRY, is the illusion of being in control. Number two: how ever bad you think whatever happened was, the reality is....it's not THAT bad. If I could have all of the time and ENERGY I put into these types of things that happen in life, I would probably add YEARS onto what I have left.

As CG said....go in with your head held up HIGH, and "act as if" you are not bothered. We ALL make mistakes; no one on this earth is perfect. What I've also learned, is that when you learn to lighten up on yourself, you naturally lighten up on others. Life isn't black & white; it's numerous shakes of gray.

Take a deep breath.....take a hot bath, and try & relaaaaaax

Fake it, til ya make it. That's my current method of dealing with such things.

Good luck!
