Ughhhhh! anyone else had or is having a really bad day at work??? My supervisor screamed and let it out me for a small mistake I made today I feel so worthless and low!!
Does anyone feel unappreciated and unneeded at work?

Yes, frequently. Except that my boss is my husband, so I can't go home and complain about that so-and-so at work!

Everyone does sometimes.

Try to disconnect your sense of self as a person from your work performance. Regardless of whether or not your boss's criticism was justified, or to what extent it was justified if it was, your work performance has no bearing on you as a person. It does not make you worthless. Why should you feel that you are? Are you now any less intelligent, less personable, less capable, less creative, less good, less kind, less anything at all than you were before your boss yelled at you?

Unappreciated you may be, but again, that has no bearing on your value as a person or as an employee. Whether or not you are appreciated is a function of your boss's personality.
