(7,549 posts)Thank You and I am sorry to hear you had a panic attack. That's a very tough thing to experience. It is great that you were able to pinpoint what was triggering it.
I am glad you learned to say no, and I have to as well.
I did write the leader of the group and said I no longer wanted this position in the group and could she please put finding someone else to take over on the agenda for next month. I said I want to stay in the group, just not in any official capacity.
It went from being something fun and that I enjoyed to something that leaves me tense and upset. My sister keeps saying to me well you're just letting some jerks chase you out of doing something you are good at and have had fun doing.
I keep telling her that's the thing I am not having fun anymore, I'm starting to feel used and taken advantage of, and when that attitude sets in it's damn hard to keep doing a good job.
Sure I could have confronted the people who are taking advantage but they are the type who either are not going to comprehend what I am saying to them anyway, or who would understand what I was saying but wouldn't give a crap, and keep doing what they are doing anyway.
It's best for me to walk away cause it's just making me want to bang my head against the wall.
