I figured this could go here, becuase I called my t, crying my head off. I went to work, but felt an intense urge not to go to work that day. I just didn't want to be there. I didn't want to wait on patrons, and I didn't want there to be uncomfortablness btwn me and my boss. So I went back to my car and went home. I never called my employers and they called me an hour after work started. I said I wasn't feeling well but that I'd come in. And I apologized for not calling, and said I was about to call too. Then I called back and said I couldn't come in at all because I was just to sick. My boss said: " you really need to call in first." She was really ncie about it. But I think they have their eye on me now. I am in a really messed up place now. I have gotten into the patern of avoiding the things I don't want to do. I feel bad about it afterwards though. I think I avoid my problems. I avoid the way I feel and take what I think is the easy route out. I want to stop this. I want to either keep the job I have now or get a new job and keep it for a long time. Here is my question though. Would it be a good idea for me to tell my bosses that I have severe social anxiety and that I am working on it with a therapist. Would there be a point to doing this if I'm looking for other jobs? And would my employer tell my prospective future employer what I told her in confidentiality about my mental health? I just don't want them to think I am skipping work or something. Or that I just didn't think to call in. There's a reason behind it.
