I have a lot of anxiety surrounding my job and have for a long time. But yesterday for the first time, I had a panic attack when I woke up and thought about going to work. I couldn't even get out of bed. I called in sick and cried most of the day.

This morning I managed to get up and get dressed (even though I was having trouble breathing) and drive myself to work. I asked my husband to follow me because I was feeling really shaky and anxious, and once I got to work and parked my car I had another panic attack and could not calm down and stop crying. So I left and came home again.

I feel like I'm letting everyone down. I feel like a failure. Other people manage to go to work and do their job - what's wrong with me?
