Granted- I still spend a lot of time in my bedroom after work, but nobody is perfect!! so yes, work is essential to part of my therapy as far as getting me better.
Medication.. as much as I hate to admit to it, meds make me better.
Guided meditation, writing, excersizing..

What a coincidence....I also work with kids and have extreme anxiety. It's not about the work, but I get it in response TO work....if that even makes sense. The anxiety has kept me from work, so I have to push through to get to work, then I'm usually fine. I spend a lot of time alone too.
Glad to know someone else gets it, but sorry you're in the same spot. Therapy is really helping me too.
