@ArraDreaming so rough when work is such a source of anxiety for you. Could you call in sick at all?

@ArraDreaming Oh true, yeah sometimes that time away can make it that much harder to get back into a rhythm with it, especially if work is already such a big source of stress. Do you feel anxious while you're at work or mainly in the lead up to it? Is your workplace understanding with mental health stuff? Like could you ask for a lower workload or anything?

Probably not @ArraDreaming - I'm not you, and cannot know your experiences. I can only relate to them from my own frame of view. I know what anxiety and panic feel like for me, and they are super unpleasant. I can sit with you and empathise as best I can, but as much as I wish I could, I can't take your anxiety away.

Might not be able to take it away @ArraDreaming but you do have power here - to do something to distract yourself, remind yourself that emotions are never permanent, and that eventually the adrenaline will subside. Do you wanna chat about something for a bit and try to focus on something else?
