I was practically in tears when it happened. One of the hardest things I've ever done. She doesn't even know if it's possible since there's a temp in my old position right now. She said she will find out and get back to me. I felt very guilty asking but she seemed compassionate about it. If they don't let me move back, I will have to quit.

story? I'm just hearing this for the first time

moved to texas for a job, the office i worked at got shut down, moved back to ny

got a job taking claim reports for commercial auto insurance, was much better than everyone else at it. management found out i had experience being a claim adjuster and bumped me up. been doing it since july. mental state has been nosediving ever since. i knew i wouldnt like the job but i didnt think i would be so crippled by my mental state over it. after a night of extremely rocky sleep and a morning full of nausea and dizziness, i sat down with my boss and said "this is really hard to ask, but is there any way i can be considered to go back to my old department"

my boss was like "is everything ok mike" and i'm like "you guys have been great to me but i've been having a 4 going on 5 month panic attack over this. i wanted to hold out because i thought i would escape these jitters eventually but it's beginning to affect me outside of work as well"

she was basically like wow i'm really sorry to hear that, that's the last thing we want for you, yadda yadda. She said she'll talk to office management and see if i can go back. we're not sure because there's a temp in my old position at the moment

i didnt wanna seem pushy by asking. by wednesday i'll know, i'd imagine. my boss has seen me here and there today like at the break room or copier and she's trying to be really reassuring. keeps telling me "it's ok, dont worry" etc. i appreciate it but it makes the guilt worse

well i had an hour long convo with the branch manager, then a lengthy convo with my direct boss. they are both amazing and understanding people. i told them straight up that although i have been able to complete the work and do it efficiently thus far, i cant shake a constantly ramping anxiety i've had. the stressed that they dont want me to feel this way and commended me for being candid with them. he seemed genuine but i still feel ashamed over it

i told them that i didnt want to keep my feelings bottled up to the point where my work starts to get sloppy and not punctual, and that i do like working for this company and want to continue working with the company. the branch manager said he's going to talk to HR, and my manager said she's upset in the sense that she's losing one of her better workers so soon, but she said she'd rather me be comfortable and not have work start affecting my irl life

nothing is guaranteed, but even if i dont transition back i feel a little bit of relief after talking with them about everything
