I feel horrible...I have never felt this heartbroken š :( Someone help (I am not a danger to myself or anyone, don't worry)
I mentioned yesterday that I would write about this later...so here it is. I feelā¦I donāt know. My boss who is so nice is leavingā¦I am probably going to cry. I will write more about my feelings for him laterā¦I feel like I need to vent out (the following I wrote to my therapists): I have really had a tough time the last few days. I could not even sleep until 5:30 a.m. because I was so distraught (I don't ever recall that happening). If you wanted to talk to me is it possible to email me or call me on my cell because I don't want my family finding out. Feeling sad that my boss is taken (he is the first boss that I have fallen for, and I would say I have fallen for him pretty hard). I love his voice and his body and his laugh and how nice he is and he seems smart and he has a pretty truck that looks manly and probably a bunch of other things. I even looked him up online and it appeared that he may be married based on what I saw from Whitepages.com and from some of him and his families' social media sites, but I still wasn't 100% sure. It also looks like he has a wedding ring which I also find pretty. The point is I have felt like this about him for at least a year and it is a pretty massive crush, I would say. It was heartbreaking, I guess. A lot of my previous email was from a message I sent my NOCD therapist (she is on vacation), My previous (and first) boss was very abusive and even made me cry and never adjusted my schedule. My current boss has been so flexible and caring. He is the first boss I have fallen for. I have had some very intense crushes in the last few years (I was attracted to the same things in all of them, pretty much; their looks, they seemed nice, etc.) but he may be the first one with all of that plus I actually have gotten to know him and love his personality. I feel like he made me feel so safe after my last manager made me feel deeply upset. I get along so well with him. I have no idea what to do. I woke up and not long after started tearing up a little. I am not suicidal or in any danger but I have never felt this heartbroken. Please let me know what I could do. He is still at my work for a little longer. Thank you so much! I could add some more to this: I have had trouble eating since I found out yesterday that indeed my boss is leaving. My former boss (female, btw) yelled at us and insulted us and talked down on us and made me cry. She didn't seem to care about my schedule almost at all and overworked us. I felt like a victim and still am traumatized by her. She was a micromanager and a bully and abusive. My current manager? He is not a micromanager. He has been so nice. He praises me and has said stuff like calling me "smart" and "an asset" and "it's great having you here". I had no idea he was leaving. We just lost two people due to a sudden firing about two weeks ago and that was traumatic enough, and now this? Our store is so short-staffed already! I am worried to lose this wonderful job. It is a temporary job for me (I am trying to get a job with my college degree), but it is my first adult job and where so much of my OCD recovery has happened. I would never engage in an inappropriate relationship with him; I wouldn't want anyone doing that with my dad lol š. Seriously, though. That is wrong. I wouldn't want someone messing with my husband. I have total compassion if you have feelings for him (we are human, after all), and I have no problem if you want to be close friends with him, but don't have a relationship with him! :). I knew even before this job you can't have a relationship with your managers, but this just stunned me. I can't believe how hard I have fallen for him (no wonder he is taken; he is so lovely) and how hard it is now knowing he will leave soon. I do want to keep in touch with him in an appropriate way because he is the first nice manager that I have actually gotten to know in my young career. I would love to be lifelong friends with him. I told my friend at work about my feelings for him now that he is leaving and he agreed that he is a good-looking guy. Any thoughts? I have never had an attraction like this before in my life.
