I can completely identify with work being stressful. My anxiety has been so high for the last week that I have barely been able to breathe. I am terrified that I am going to lose my job (again) due to illness. That would really be the last straw I think.

I guess what I do when I get really anxious at work is to try to stay active. I work in a small retail store. If I can manage to get engaged in a project or working with a customer it usually keeps my mind off of my anxiety. For me, it's the down time that is hard. I usually bring a book, sometimes my knitting, and just try to keep busy and quiet. I frequently have to segragate myself from the other two people who work there, as they are just too "normal" for me to deal with at times.

I don't know if any of that helps. But I hope it does. Be well.
Thanks for this!
