I’ve been at a new job for about 6 weeks now and today I had my first ow ic attack while on the job. 

I feel so embarrassed because I had to walk off my line before I fainted. I was only away for about 5 minutes but I work in a recycling plant and every spot needs to be filled and I didn’t have time to call over a replacement before I left. 

As far as I can tell I didn’t get in trouble or anything but i know from previous experiences that people will start getting that look when they see me now. 

Sucks man. No one in my life understands how urgent it is to be able to calm down when you’re at the point of fainting. My friend said I should have just waited for someone to cover my station and go to the bathroom. Problem is I just went to the bathroom 10 minutes earlier to try and fight it off but it didn’t help. My friend doesn’t understand why I couldn’t just wait for a cover and think I made a mistake.
