Hi
Today was one of those days where I wished I had just stayed in bed. It was my overtime day and... well overtime and bad anxiety day do NOT mix at all. I have been having a lot of problems with my anxiety in the last few weeks, like uncontrollable crying at stupid moments. It is so embarassing.
It is getting that I don't want to talk to my supervisors about any issues, because I start panicking and crying. Usually I feel the panic, excuse myself and cry somewhere that isn't the middle of the shop floor.
The good thing is, that if I can get through the work day, I feel so much more relaxed. I think it's because work is so stressful and busy because it's almost Christmas. It's the busiest time of the year. I am trying to take just one day at a time.
It might sound like everything is going a bit wrong, but I am a lot better than last year. Which is massive progress. I feel a lot more confident in myself. I have to pace myself, really. If I feel panicked speaking about something, I try to leave it for the moment, and come back to it later. It seems to help, and that matters. It's all baby steps.
