...but I had a panic attack this morning. So I am a teacher and I missed school yesterday (which was our first day back after our winter break and after 2 "cold" days off) and I still wasn't feeling well this morning, but tried to go in since it is the beginning of the semester.
It wasn't a good morning, I had a hard time sleeping last night, I couldn't find my keys (still can't find them), and was running "late" since I couldn't find my keys. I think being tired and not feeling well just got to me and in the car on the way to work I started to freak out about the day. I had to pull over since I felt the panic coming and I called in and was crying on the phone, but the secretary said that I was covered if I couldn't come in. I started to have an attack, I took a xanax and made my way home. The xanax kicked in fully when I got home and I slept for like 4 hours.

This sucks, now I'm worried about my students and being new at this school, worried what the principal may think....at least I have a therapy appointment today...
just venting, thanks for reading

That sounds pretty stressful. I have a crappy min wage job at a pizza place. I have been having a really hard time these past few days with 24/7anxiety and wasunsure about how I would do atwork. I felt anxious as soon as I walked in. I tried to hold it of but the anxiety keptbuilding and building. Itold my boss what was going on and he was pretty understanding. Anyways, stay strong. Hope yourefeeling better.
