Re: I can’t go to work

Hi @ArraDreaming @tyme 

Sorry you still feel the same.

If you are home, what can you do to relax?

Have you and your kids had breakfast?

 

Re: I can’t go to work

Hi @ArraDreaming 

 

It's obvious that you find it hard to communicate when you are having a panic/anxiety attack.

 

People are only trying to help - I am wondering you want from us when you post in such a high-strung state - there's not much we can do except respond to you.

 

Have you thought that it's not a good idea to drive when you are so anxious. If you need a day off work - then you do - or can someone else drive you? And that's just a question - not a solution - 

 

Yelling at us doesn't help your situation - I can tell you are frustrated - by now I have read some of your other posts and know you suffer from anxiety - and it seems - this happens in the mornings.

 

Are you seeing your GP or someone else about this anxiety It's very hard to deal with on your own - and this comes across clearly.

 

I suggest you don't try to drive when you are so tense - even if you have to go to work late - you like your job and you need it - so - have you spoken to your boss or supervisor about this - to try and at least have people understand where you are coming from.

 

And try not to shout or write in caps - that puts people off. If you want help from the forum - then try and post to us when you are not anxious and put us in the picture more clearly. This is called being assertive and more likely to help everyone.

Thanks for letting me know @Former-Member

Re: I can’t go to work

Hi @Owlunar @tyme 

Thank you. Tyme sees me trying.

If you read Jay last two forums, i am spending time and feel Jay is making progress.

Note the title today. Upper and lower. The odd all caps is fine.

Thanks for not being upset with me mentioning.

I was so glad there was support

Re: I can’t go to work

That's good to hear @Former-Member 

 

We are here to support each other - sometimes this is not at all easy.

 

You are doing good work - well done
