I feel so anxious and overwhelmed I have been having 2-5 panic attacks a day and don’t always no why. I struggled to do simple daily tasks like get out of bed and have a shower. My depression and anxiety is taking over my life I feel really shit and I am spending most of my day in my bed. Where I keep spiraling in negative thoughts and emotions. I’m not sure what to do anymore. What strategies and advice would you give.

That is tough...I can understand what you are going through
I get 'strange' attacks that happen at work -
I feel like something bad is about to happen and 'out of control'
it lasts for a couple of minutes - i hope the customers didn't notice

Hi @natureoflife Sounds really full on. How are things going for you? As @Jupiter and @outlander mentioned, connecting with some support sounds like a good next step. In addition, you might also like to check out this self help workbook on coping with panic.
Your experience sounds quite overwhelming too @jamesle2015. What strategies do you find helpful for coping at work?
