My anxiety is through the roof! I am extremely irritable and having a lot of trouble going into my toolbox of coping skills to stay calm.

My job for the municipality I work in was labeled non-essential and have been temporarily laid-off. Though I applied for re-assignment and am still working on a non-fixed schedule at completely different hours than my regular job. So I am still ok financially. The change in my sleeping is difficult. My regular job starts at 4:00am, and my new re-assigned position starts at 1:30pm. After this is over, I get my full-time job back.

I am forcing myself to stay positive and keep as busy as I can. I have to keep it together for the sake of my family and how I conduct myself working with the public. This is hard, I have nowhere to blow off steam.

I feel very alone even though I'm around people (or at least 2 metres away). I think I have a bad case of imposter syndrome keeping myself together 24 hours a day. Inside, I'm a total anxiety riddled wreck!
