Panic attack while working.
Recently I've been having a tough time at work and feeling really down. My boss has been a real bitch to me lately with yelling at me often and telling me to get out of her face when I needed to ask her a question about my work. Today everything got worse still. We had an accident in our room and I had to get a form signed off my her about it. When I went into the office she was yelling that she'd start hitting her staff soon if it was another accident form. She sent me back to the room without her signing it and later came into our room yelling at myself and the other staff in the room about the first aid.
Mine has just expired and I didn't realise till filling out the form and I had just done first aid on the injured person (the CPR is expired but everything else fine) so another lady who had been witness to the first aid had signed off instead of me (common practice for our sector) she came in to yell at us about that then went off at me for applying an ice pack onto a bruise on the head of the injured person. My first thought had been an ice pack is needed to help reduce swelling and redness on a bump. She told us all that ice packs are not to be used on head injuries and that was basic first aid. Once she left I tried so hard to compose myself but anxiety got the better of me and I had to leave the room just as a panic attack started. I stood out for 5 or 10 minutes trying to calm myself. I hadn't had a panic attack in a while and this one was horrible. I couldn't breathe and tears just kept coming. It was horrible and for both my workmates to come in at different points and witness the panic attack was so embarrassing for me. I thought I had been getting better with dealing with confrontation but how wrong I was today. The day still kept getting worse with more yelling from the boss. I'm at a point in life where I can't even quit or find a new job because of income and no fulltime availability in my area. I'm not sure how to deal with my boss and I dread facing her every day. I love what I do but I hate working for her right now.
She just makes me feel so worthless. Like nothing I do is right.
Edit:
People saying to report her I can't, she's best friends with the next higher up and also our work place HR manager so telling them ensure they'll go right to her.
