What I've done today...and how I felt. · 5:36pm May 20th, 2022
I was expecting it to be a typical Friday, but everything went off the deep end, and it really is still messing with my head, even now.
What happened, you might ask?
My dad.
He tested positive for Covid-19 this morning. Now, he compares it currently to a bad session of allergies, he's fully vaccinated and boosted, and he should be fine in a few days...but what happened after that is something I regret.
Despite my mom, my supervisor, and my dad telling me I would be fine at work...I didn't believe them. I didn't listen. I was scared of what could happen. I acted on an impulse and elected to head home before my shift started. I got chewed out by mom, and honestly, I deserve it. I messed up big time. I, according to my supervisor, was in a state where I'd be a burden to my coworkers, and she or my other main supervisor couldn't be there to help me deal with it. I essentially gave up a work day for nothing, a work day that WOULD'VE GONE PERFECTLY FINE HAD I ONLY LISTENED TO THOSE WHO SUPPORT ME..
I know I made a mistake. But hopefully on Monday, I can start to make things right and apologize to my supervisors. I can get through this weekend (Despite my not being able to see my sister's boyfriend, who my brother and I are good friends with, and came up from Florida to see my sister, which sucks.) and come out clean on the other side. Next week, I'll hit the ground running and make it the best last week of work I've done.
I just gotta stay on the bright side. Even though I really have no motivation to write or do anything productive right now, as I feel that bad anyway.
I could use some kind words, guys. Please. And thank you in advance.
So to hear about yo dad but also glad he'd be fine soon. Also I understand your panic. You were worried and it's understandable. Just remember to breathe in and out, think for a second or two and relax if you can. No need to bundle or ball up your stress.

Indeed. It's hard because I'm also on the Autism Spectrum, so things like this throw me off more than ususal.
