Work

[Kaikey]

Does anyone freak out at work most of the time? I feel like when I'm at work, my anxiety is at its worse. I'm at work right now and I just want to go home. My anxiety is bad right now and just wondering if anyone else experiences this?

My anxiety is acutually better when im at work. because it keeps my mind off of it and work is the only place where i feel like a normal human being. when im working its like a vacation from my anxiety. When im off work its back to my horrible life filled with fear and anxiety

Absolutely. My anxiety goes haywire at work. I think it doesn't feel like a "safe" place because there are requirements and I have to focus and I have to act presentable and be there 40 hrs a week and if something happens I can't run. I also express my stress thru anxiety and so if work is stressful I start to have emet episodes and panic and decide everyone is sick. It has helped me to speak with my supervisors if I feel comfortable doing so... If not to express my emet details simply to say I struggle with anxiety and occasionally I may need a five minute sensory break of sorts. If I haven't asked for this privilege i try to make the bathroom a break place (although I worry about bacteria then) and anytime I have lunch or break I go sit in my car or take a walk or get some food somewhere. It helps me to clear my head. Call someone I trust. Or get on here.
