Without disclosing too much, I’m dealing with a situation at work that’s ramping up my anxiety. It’s been dragging for somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks. The best part? Nobody had any information about what’s going on. I don’t know what I’m being accused of. I don’t know what my job is investigating. They haven’t even reached out to me about it in this time frame.
It’s getting frustrating and annoying. With all of these unanswered questions, the situation is driving me bonkers. If I just had some answers at all, it would help ease my nerves. Or just give me some kind of resolution so I can take proactive steps. I absolutely can not stand this limbo.
I will say a bit of reframing goes a long way. Someone with a different perspective offered this situation as a growth opportunity to build up patience. Not the way I’d normally look at it, but they were right. This is a good test of my patience. I cannot control a whole lot here. My fate really is in the hands of others. All I can do is wait.
