I’ve always felt safe at my job, I enjoy it despite they type of work I do.
Today, there was an adult I’ve never seen before and several students (I work at a high school) up on the third floor with me. For the most part we didn’t bother one another, and my anxiety didn’t start until I had to enter the area they were occupying. They began to slam doors and glare at me as well as stop talking until I left, unfortunately I didn’t “leave” because as a janitor my job is to clean.
These individuals began to treat me like a thing and as if I wasn’t there. If brought back a lot of trauma from when my family was robbed. I had a panic attack after reaching out to my boss who basically told me there wasn’t anything they could do about it, which has only heightened panic and anxiety.
I’m planning to contact HR, but am worried... #Anxiety #PanicAttack #scared #scaredandalone
