LoL this is embarrassing but I cried at work last night, I was so stressed and was feeling suicidal and then I found a quiet place and purged lol. People asked if I was crying and I said no I'm getting the flu.

This has actually been the first time I've ever cried at this job, the one before that was a regular occurrence

I know it's natural to cry when you're under stress and I'm not ashamed to cry but I'm more ashamed to explain the reason why I'm upset.

Are you a cryer at work?

What makes you upset?

Are you ashamed to cry infront of coworker? Boss?

Aw honey.... big big hugs!!!

Last time I cried was because of an email from another boss who isnt mine but thought he could throw tantrums at me for not doing his shit he's supposed to do LOL sounds weird I know. But I felt extremely helpless and he was really harsh to me... I vented to HR and his silly ass was quiet in no time. Never talked to me again like that.

And yes I HATE to cry in front of others!

It wasn't about the stress but yes, once and I was sooo embarassed like I was reasoning with myself like with a little kid just to make it stop. But it was a feeling of a great relief after. Like a fresh breeze.

Also, sorry about that you cried, I think the worst part in it is because you're vulnerable while crying.. and emotions are taking over. Workplace is not a safe place to be in that state, even if people are great my Cap placements always keep my guard up so that was shocking to say at least.
