Hi! My name is Nicki. I am 19 years old and I am currently working at a movie theater. My boss at the theater insists that I count up to give back the change to the customers which is fine because I understand that I need to know how to do that and I DO know how to do it, it just takes some time. And the way I see it, they invented those change buttons on the computer screen for a reason! But regardless, whenever it comes time to count up to give them change, my manager or boss look over my shoulder to make sure I m giving them the correct amount of money (which again, I understand). But when they do this, I freeze. Everything shuts down! My chest gets red, hot, and starts to hurt. I feel like my brain doesn t function. Even my hearing seems to slightly get worse and I just want to cry. Then the situation gets worse when the boss jumps in and even WORSE when the customer jumps in. I know it s all to help me but I can t deal with the feeling of not wanting to go to work because I know that at LEAST once that night, I will feel like this. Even when I talk about it with a friend (or right now), I can feel the feeling creeping up again. There are other instances where this feeling occurs again but I can t think of them at this moment as this is the most prevalent situation in which it occurs! Not sure how to deal with this! Please help!
