Co-worker and myself were crying at work

[perpetua2017]

Hello,
I don’t what happened. It’s the work was overwhelmed and I don’t know I just was triggered by memories of the first time I went to work at my job and the lack of respect from my team leader and the associates. There were new employees that were hired and the got other associates to take time with them and teach them how to do the work. With me they left me all alone and no one came to help. That team leader all of a sudden was transferred and then two associates were transferred to our shift and they both have been very helpful and they work hard at their job. I saw that and memories came back and I started to cry and went to the bathroom. My co worker yesterday was crying also and see said one of the associate said something to her about not listening to him the first time and had to repeat himself. I told her he didn’t mean it like that he was being sacrastic and joking with her. His been doing that to everybody, he told me the same thing. Then before we are about to leave she broke down in tears. Our supervisor said we have to do so much work and we are trying to complete our task it’s just overwhelming and no one encouraging us with some positive reinforcement and some words of kindness we are being emotional. I am just worried about her I hope doesn’t feel like giving up and quitting. She needs this job and it took her a long time to get this job. We already had five workers quit because of they had other jobs and five quit because the job was too much for them. I already thinking this group of four associates are talking about me behind my back saying negative things. I don’t know because they aren’t friendly and backing side remarks about me. I don’t know. Why would they wasting their time talking about me in the first place they have no life and nothing better to do but to gossip. Please advice me with information. God bless you. Thank you.

perpetua, I have read your other threads and was wondering if you have ever gone for any counseling for your anxieties. I think it might be helpful in helping you deal with some of the problems that present themselves to you. Some of what you describe may be attributed to some of your associates being impatient or thoughtless, but you need to learn how to cope with those kinds of things, whether it means ignoring them, or standing up for yourself. I think you would agree that crying with a co-worker in the bathroom is not part of a normal workday for most people. If you go for counseling, you will find that your life will be less stressful for you and you will become more confident.
