it may not be either of those...it could just be anxiety.....I have nevr been good at tracing what my anxiety is based on but I love my job and I don't really find it stressful...sometimes I only have a couple hours a day I actually work with clients and the rest of the time I am just sitting around waiting for something to pop up. but sometimes my anxiety is so bad that I fear I will never make it thru the day. I have taken days off before. and I am letting people down that have had appointments for a week or two and may not be able to get in for another week or two so I feel really aweful. I am agoraphobic so I know that may be some of it...I just don't feel safe except under controlled circumstances. that doesn't explain why I would wake up dreading work though. my old t just said I was wired for anxiety. a tip that I have found valuable that others have said worked as well for controlling panic attacks is to relax. it is impossible to panic and relax at the same time. I imagine my body to go limp like a wet noodle. just release my arms and legs and shoulders and let them hang. the panic attack will stop. I have done this again and again..sometimes you have to do it a few times to stop an attack...since I found this technique works and I no longer have to fear panic attacks because I know how to stp them, I no longer have them....take care.
