Sounds like HE needs to quit and get therapy. Can you get a prescrip for Propranolol? My mom and I take it about an hour or so before a situation we know or suspect will be high stress. It works great. There are also some good anti stress supplements: Inositol, Niacinamide, GABA, and Ashwaganda.

You should not have to endure abuse at work, that is liable and illegal. You should not be suffering because of the acts of someone who should be a professional and attacking an employee is very very wrong. I hope you reported them and their behaviour. I would maybe consider having a talk with their boss and get this person straightened out. Do not let that a*s bring you down to their level, nobody deserves to be treated like that, especially in front of other people. If they worked for me they would be fired for gross incompetence and abuse.

The reality is there are people in leadership roles that should not be.....they control and not influence. Philippians 4:13 “For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power.”

I’m sorry you are having some challenges at work. Speaking to your therapist is a terrific idea. Sometimes we need some extra help when life becomes too overwhelming. As far as your job goes, I’ve encountered supervisor’s with the same temperment. It does make the work day a bit tense. There is nothing wrong with keeping your eyes open for another career that’s a better fit and one that offers encouragement instead of anxious episodes. If you feel the need to leave your current position, but you are worried about your bills, then send in your resumes to the jobs that interest you. You can still work but you are also looking for work elsewhere. I do hope for peace and a quick resolution.

Hello all and thank you so much for your comments, @LouiseS, yes I agree I think he needs to see a therapist and I will look into the medicine as well as supplements that you have mention, thank you. @fauxartist I have reported him and everything has been documented with my HR dept who insured me that this was going to be addressed and he would be disciplined for the actions that he took. I also have a meeting with him, HR, and myself on Friday to see if I will be able to even continue working for him or if it will be best for me to work under a different supervisor. @ euniceps you are totally correct I believe that everyone is cut out to be a leader and it is sad that jobs promote people based on who they know and not on them actually having the correct criteria to do the job. @sunnyface Thank you so much for the advice I have already decided that I am not going to stay with this company long term because anytime a person in a leadership role behave's like that and they still allow them to stay in that role it tells me alot about the company and the people that they allow to represent them as the face of the company. Apparently accountability and expectations are not look at when you hold certain position's however all employees are held to certain expectations and accountability so I feel that anyone representing the company especially in a management role should be held at a higher expectation and accountability than the employees. Again thank you everyone and keep me in your prayers.

Hello, Reek,
My daughter just went through something just like you. She worked for a supervisor who was unreasonable and hostile to not just her but other employees. The upper administration did nothing to support her. She was so anxious every day and hated the thought of going to work. Her anxiety level was so much like yours. She would have to leave work. Finally, she began looking for a new job and made it a goal to get out of the unhealthy situation. She found a new job, and although she had to take a pay cut, her mental health is so much better. You don't deserve to work in an environment that doesn't feel safe and secure. No one should feel anxious to be at work. I will pray that you find the strength to look for a new job. You deserve a better company that hires professional supervisors. Best wishes!

@Momster18 Thank you so much for sharing your daughter's experience with me. I have started applying for other jobs because I definitely want to get out of the unhealthy situation for my mental health. I will probably have to take a pay cut also but I am at the point where I don't care I need to be in a safe and secure work environment also. So thank you so much I really hope that I get something sooner than later because I don't feel that I am getting the support either from the upper administration I feel that they are taking his side and I can't work for a company that have core values in place but don't challenge their upper management with living up to the core values they preach and expect from us.

I just got fired by a boss who was yelling at me all last weekend. Believe me I know how it feels to be anxious going to a job. It's not worth it if u can prove the problems it's causing you, you may be able to quit and get unemployment. I read aboit this recently. But u need actual evidence of the "abuse" so to speak. Don't let some loser boss make u anxious anyways. U could probably do his job better than him.

I'm so sorry you had that experience. What kind of work do you do? Maybe you can make the transition from work to doing freelance work at home, like starting your own business in virtual assisting.

@Diane22 I am sorry that you had to go through this also. Thank you so much for your support I really appreciate it and I have put out my resume to get the ball rolling for a new job. @pam640 I am a buyer for a hospital. I buy everything that is needed to use in the hospital. I wish I could work from home but with this job I am required to be on site they don't trust us enough to work from home even though the job can definitely be done in the privacy of your home. But I have started applying for other jobs, so I hope and pray that an opportunity comes soon.
