I 26F made a mistake at work – I waited too long to complete a government-mandated task for my company. I had thought the process would take a few days, and did not realize it would take a week. So now I will probably miss the deadline. I told my boss about this, who doesn't seem too concerned, but it's her boss's boss that's going to let me have it. He will be back next week. And regardless of my direct boss's more calm demeanor, this doesn't make me look good and she knows it – my performance has already been mediocre. I've had a really good past few months, so now this is going to set me way back.
I've always hated work – every job makes me anxious and depressed, since I'm not very intelligent or great at anything. I don't have any passions or many hobbies. (I'm working through this in therapy). But for the meantime, I'm really sensitive and the thought of what's to come next week is making me panic. I'm spending Christmas weekend with my family, but now this is all I can think about. I don't want this to ruin Christmas, it would not make me a very good daughter/sister to act all anxious and worry my family over a work mistake. Does anyone have any tips on how I can let this go?
