LQ23,

BB never judge anyone of writing anything and expressing their situation here. We are all open experiencing similar scenario but different ways.

Like AS said, if you feel like sharing we are all open ears to you. That's only if you feel comfortable.

Wow this is so comforting to know - I’ve been judging myself and just want to feel happy again. I worked for an amazing company and an amazing boss. Felt like I was not being appreciated and stole money! Been trying to secretly pay it back which I’ve started too and hopes it would go away but stupid stupid me really knew it wouldn’t. My boss was apparently worried about me and sent an email to my husband - wow now it’s actually all put in the open which in one way I’m glad. My husband has been so supportive, and has arranged for me to meet with my old boss. I’ve been feeling so lost and unsure of my worth the last few years and ant understand why I did it. I’m embarrassed shamed Nd feel worthless in myself as I’m not a malicious person and just want to please people . I’m so nervous about meeting my old boss tomorrow

[LQ23]

Ok I’m up for the morning so far I’ve got my catch up with my old boss and feel like I’m going to collapse in a heap. I don’t know how I will cope today. My body feels numb and drained - hoping I feel better

[LQ23]

Thank you AS I’m feeling so drained and lonely I’ve got my meeting with my old boss this morning and feel like all my energy has been drained-I don’t know what to say to him and feel so bad and ashamed to meet him - I need courage and strength today like nothing else

Good Morning LQ23

I am so very happy you have opened up and shared your story, you will never be judged here and we are here to support you and give you comfort...

Ok so you have your meeting this morning and I can hear how terrified and nervous and scared you are and that is totally understandable. You old boss sounds like an wonderful person in that he reached out to your husband and that he cares and wants to support you. I hear you are so very overwhelmed and anxious about this meeting today and I want to send you all my strength.

My words for you today would be to open up to your ex boss as you have to me here, he sounds very supportive and the fact that you have been secretly trying to pay the money back shows that you are very remorseful for your actions and this is a very good start. I think perhaps explaining to him why you felt you needed to steal the money might help give him some insight as to it may have been a desperate time for you and that this is most certainly not your "normal" behaviour.

I can hear how sorry and regretful you are about what you have done and I am so proud of you for speaking up, for talking to your husband and now agreeing to this meeting, that is so very brave and very strong and you are doing everything to make the wrong right again.

Please try to be kind to yourself, we all make mistakes in life and it is not a summary of who we are as people. You have made a mistake and now you are doing your very best to correct it, well done, you could have just run away and swept it under the carpet, so every credit to you for showing integrity and making it right.

Try to take some deep breaths, but I think just let it out to your ex boss who seems very understanding.

I would really like to hear how this morning goes for you LQ23.

Big hugs to you and well done

AS

Hi AS well my meeting finished and as to be expected my bosses face was devastation and he wanted to know why. Tried as best I could to explain said I had no excuse for what I’d done. Owned up to everything and said I was available if he needed to call me. He wanted to make sure I was seeking help and he will go back and work out a payment plan set in concrete and wanted to know updates when I can

Hi LQ23

Thank you so very much for letting me know how you went....I am so proud of you, well done. That must have been so very hard and so emotional and traumatic for you. I am so glad you were able to tell him everything and be honest and own your mistake. That is so very brave but also so very honorable.

I can hear you are sad as your bosses face was devastation and that must have been very hard to see, especially as you are feeling so very sorry for what you have done, however, I feel like his response has been so very positive in providing you with a payment plan but what speaks the loudest is that he wanted to make sure that you had some help in place, that is so wonderful of him.

Well done LQ23, you have done something so wonderful today and your integrity shouts so very loud. I know you are probably feeling very drained right now but I hope you can do something nice for yourself and take some time to do something that makes you feel happy.

Chat anytime

Well done and huge hugs for you LQ23
