What do you do when you have an anxiety attack at work? I had one today and had to ask a coworker to give me a hug in private and we ended up kissing. Surprisingly soothing.

I hope this doesn't really mean: I confided in a co worker when vulnerable and they took advantage knowing I was compromised? Look after yourself Copywriter. I also recommend walk round the block, and listen to the targeted 'I'm stressed' buddify meditation. Find the movement helps manage anxiety better than trying to stay still, gives your body something else to do.

OP sounds like a woman and the coworker a man? If so, it's very likely/not surprising behavior on his part. Regardless of actual specifics, beware of misleading people in having actual interest in being with them or leading them on in times when you need them, then "abandoning" when you don't. Avoid getting into intimate situations when not feeling your best/thinking clearly. It's not helpful for either side long term. You could be playing with other people's emotions when if unintentionally under the influence of weakness.

Xanax and a walk. Also call my husband on the walk.

Ah grand. 😘

“what would you wear” question here: Thursday @ 6pm cocktail reception/closing dinner with clients and their counterparties. dress code not specified in the invite. err on the side of “workwear” or “cocktail attire”? I’m specifically wondering if strappy heeled sandals are OK or if I should stick to more conservative pumps/booties (plan to pair with a knee length sheath dress + blazer so the shoes really tip the scales one way or another…)
