its just a general depression that i can't seem to shake. being put on the bench at my job continuously makes me feel not good at anything.
15 minutes is a very long time for 10 lines....
i'm not sure how it ended.
It was nice to feel like I could help someone feel better.

Of course! That sounds frustrating to not know why it's happening and not have the opportunity to ask.

I think your feelings are normal, but if I were you, I might try to remember that the decisions of others aren't always a reflection of us or how we're performing.

I was in a physical office when I had this problem, but the boss rotated between offices. It was hard to wait, but I just kept my head down until the next time she was available. That's what I did.

I think reminding yourself that if there was a problem with your work they would be seeking YOU out, and not the other way around.
assistant

hrm...that's a good point! i hadn't thought of it that way

Hopefully that mindset can help you stay positive until you have the chance to speak with them, instead of worrying about what you've done wrong. That anxiety feels like what is keeping you down?

I'll give it a shot and just talk with him when i see him online next time. he isn't online that often because we have 2 separate computers each for our work well...i hope you have a wonderful night! thank you for all your help!
