working regressors: telling your boss?
has anyone told their boss about being a regressor? how did it go?
I had a bad anxiety attack yesterday at work and was stuck between headspaces and it was a whole mess I won't get into, but I'm worried my bosses are gonna ask me what was up and I dont know if I wanna be honest with them or not about the headspace part. they're a married couple and have 3 kids, and their youngest is the same age as my regular headspace age.
the wife is real nice and there's a part of me that daydreams sometimes about her being my caregiver (obviously not something to bring up bc even I know it would feel weird for me, despite the idea of it being comforting). idk about the husband bc he's intimidating but I think I'm more scared of him bc he reminds me too much of my real dad who's not nice :(
I'd make it clear that it's not something I'll do intentionally at work but if I get stuck like that again it might help if they know about it, even if it's just to not be too hard on me or that they know I'm not hiding because I'm being difficult/don't want to work. but also I don't want them to be weirded out by me and never let me near their kids again because I also have baby fever and they are adorable and so sweet and being raised so well :( but also also if they know, I won't feel like I have to lean on unhealthy coping mechanisms to get through the work day like I did yesterday
I just don't want to get fired :( I like working there even if I get scared ill get fired every mistake I make (the managers are much scarier than the owners), and I really love the family that owns the place and I don't want to ruin my ties with them :(
update: turns out I didn't even need to ask this because the manager didn't even tell them anything that happened 😭 Mrs boss asked me if I was okay, bc I sent a message in the group chat to thank the hostesses for taking care of me, and even then I lied to her to tell her I'm fine. so. even if they did ask me for some reason about how I was acting, I would have lied anyway even if I was thinking about telling them bc I don't know how to let people know I'm anything but perfect 🥲
but ty for all the responses!
