EAP's are wonderful programs. Further, they are required by law to facilitate your therapy and treat you with the SAME confidentiality that a regular therapist would give you. USE the program. . .it's priceless.
Even if your job ends, there is always local community mental health places. I know a lot of people seem to have a unique hatred for those places, but many of us in the industry did our internships at just such places. There are a lot of great counselors and p-docs in those places. It isn't like the health department where you see someone different each time.
Take advantage of what you can for now. Work hard. Questions are normal. . .unless of course you're going to walk in there and tell them what's wrong with you?
Just breathe. Don't focus on 2pm. It's 9:52 right now. . .focus on making it to 10:52, and then 11:52 and so on. At 1pm, take a good book, and go have lunch close to the office. Get a kids meal if you don't think you'll eat much. Take your list with you.
Let us know how you're doing. I'm here all day.
