Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thankyou for your query.
Dear first of all I would like to tell that small accidents and mishapps happen everywhere and are unpredictable and human being is bound to do mistakes but at the same time tends to have courage to forget it go ahead.
Since you have already good image in company and if your boss knows your value then he would understand that you did not do it delibrately.Dont compel yourself thinking about it that why did it happen.You are perfectionist but at the same time human too ,so mistake can happen and your boss also knows it.
I would suggest give some time to your self and do your work as usual , and focus on your targets with heart and soul ,as the time will pass ,no one even care to remember that.
Hopefully My answer will be helpfull,please do not hesitate to ask again if you have more questions to ask.
Best regards,
Dr.Maheshwari

Brief Answer:
These symptoms could be due to stress.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome back to HCM.
Dear I can understand your concern. I have gone through your history and concluded that self help would be the best help. Since office stress is very common now a days and it all depends on one self that what he/she actually needs in life.
I would suggest compare your problem with the others who are not as happy as you are .
Also talking with your Boss in detail on right time will surely help. Envying about other will just give harm but no gain so better focus on your work and take care of your position. You will get the result on right time.
Also spending quality time with family members and visiting your favourite places will boost up energy and self strength.
Apart from this seeking counselling form professional counsellor in person might help and if anything does not help then anti anxiety medicines can be taken after discussing with the counsellor.

Brief Answer:
You may need to seek counselling sessions to reduce anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear, Welcome back to HCM.
To reduce the stress , daily light walk, yoga and listening light music could help . Also doing whatever makes you happy, whether in form of new hobby or visiting new places may also help.
It is not necessary that every woman undergoing premenopausal stage get stress symptoms but it can be one of the factors due to the hormonal changes.
For that getting blood estrogen , progesterone and thyroid hormones level done and discussing with the gynaecologist can help to rule out the cause.
To avoid thinking about one thing and guilt , self-help is the best remedy .
Ask yourself to avoid thinking about that particular thing and ignore if something bothers you.
Otherwise you may seek help by counselling sessions and anti-anxiety medicines as per need.
