I feel like this almost every day before I go to work (I work third shift). This is why I'm difficult to work with (I'm always tense and anxious with my coworkers), and why my life is disorganized. If I could just be more efficient and get things done before work, I would have a little more organization. But I get so anxious that I kind of shut down until I have to be "on" again, and then it's like a marathon trying to get through the 8 hours. I
just made it today; punched out 10 minutes early because I wanted to scream, cry, punch someone...whatever...
I flake out on plans too, and then get all apologetic. When I try to explain the anxiety thing, I can just see people's eyes glaze over; I feel like they don't want to hear it.
