Hon, are you on any meds now? Anything to take the edge off the anxiety? If you're not, and if you don't have access to such, have you seriously tried meditation? Focussing and calming yourself by concentrating on an image like a candle? There are a number of techniques like meditation used by people all over the world to get themselves under control. Do you have a T? Can you talk to him/her about it? It's now Saturday, probably around 9 in the evening, your time. You have plenty of time to stabilize yourself before you have to get up and go to work on Monday. If indeed you have to. Because from what I read (right now) in your Scots papers your area is just a total mess with the weather and all. As far as concerns your manager's comments, the man (woman?) is a jerk. You can be as stable as you choose to be. You can calm yourself down if you try. Search for "meditation" in the Psych Central search box at the top of the page. Read the hits. Follow the advice. I'm no T or pdoc. I'm just another patient. But I've been in your situation and then finally been able to get myself out of it. You can too. It's just not hard. It's not that big a deal. Try, Laura. Just try. You'll be amazed at the difference it will make. Take good care!
