I got an email from my boss, inviting me to our store's Christmas party.
I have been off work for close to two months now cause of mental illness.
There are quite a few people who genuinly care about me who I work with. I know if I go, there will be lots of hugs, kisses and "we miss you"'s.
On the other side of it, there will be the nasty people there too. Ones who were mean, rude and belittling to me there too. I am sure if I go there will be many "Oh, she can't come to work, but she can take advantage of the Staff Party" by those people.
As much as I would love to see the ones I adore. I am not sure I can handle both the postive attention as well as the negative attention.
I am dreaming about being outside the restaurant, phoning my boss on on his cell telling him, I am outside, but can't come in. What I know of him, he would come out and put his arm around me and bring me in, within the comfort of his aura.
I am not sure if any of this, the positives and negatives would actually be good for me at this point.
Anyone have any advice or simular experiences to share?
