Anxiety

I waited til my half hour break at work to cry. I was frustrated and upset over my mistakes. I allowed a woman to return medication when we we aren't supposed to accept it back. I knew that, but didn't think about it. I remember it being brought up once or twice before. She was getting medication that was what she was supposed to get. Second thing I did was give a prescription to a person about 45 min earlier when another woman came in to claim that one. It became this whole ordeal. It was for a man prescription too. If it was the wrong prescription don't you think they would of brought it back to tell us? I thought maybe it was a daughter picking it up or something. Now this new girl at work who I have no problems with was being taught stuff right in front of me. That made me even more upset because she still belongs with the register because she's only been working consistently for a week and a half and I'm supposed to be learning more stuff. I've been there for over 5 weeks. I know the lead tech doesn't like me.

I am being really hard on myself. I wanted to quit. It still makes me what to cry out in frustration thinking about today. I can't focus on anything else. Make it stop!

My Comments From: NoGoodReason Feb 28 2008, 1:07 pm Hey Dreamer, glad to hear from you but sorry to see you having a rough day. You happen to be talking abut my SPECIALTY so let me give you some advice! Try to not "feel" emotion about such things, these are tasks and the tasks are not you or your personal value. Just simply try to "double check" all you do. In the world of "Quality Engineering" people performing repetetive tasks often make mistakes, the best way to avoid a mistake is to do what you normally do, then just beforeyou close the transaction, take a deep breath (really do this!), pick up the paperowkr and the scrip bottle and check it against the name of the person you are giving it to. If its wrong, just apologize and get the right one.  Good luck, be calm and love yourself! From: p1lky Feb 28 2008, 4:29 am we all make mistakes that is what makes us human. Another thing that makes us human is the ability to forgive and believe me i know it is hard but if you can forgive others you can forgive yourself. You are obviously in a field where yopu care for people, in my eyes that makes you a good person. 5 weeks is not a long  time you are still new there yourself From: Foreverchanging Feb 27 2008, 7:21 pm we all make mistakes. It is okay. really it is okay.. Your a beautiful nice person who wants to be nice to others, even if it is against policies, you know you made a mistake.. now let go and know your a good person
