I just feel like I can't cope with life right now. I'm falling apart. The thought of another working week starting tomorrow is filling me with dread! I couldn't handle it last week. How is this week gonna be any better?

Life keeps going on but I can't keep up with it. Too much socialising yesterday and now I want to hide forever. But I can't.

I'm getting such bad thoughts.

Last week I was even thinking I could go part time but I can't afford to. But I can't cope full time either :/

I feel like just giving up altogether

so you did something on Saturday and now you do not feel you have had enough down time on the weekend to equip you to face another week at work. I know just how you feel. I am agoraphobic and I need to spend my entire weekend staying home doing nothing or I cant face my week either. I have two meetings to go to today and I am so stressed about the week ahead no having the whole weekend off so to speak. I started school recently and the extra time I spend in classes is really a stressor for me. I don't think I am going to make it. is there any way you can take some time off from work now and again if you cant go part time. just a day here and there? relieve some of the stress. that is what I do. I wish I could offer some way to cope, but I obviously don't have one....but I do understand what you are going thru and can tell you you are not alone. take care.

Oh honey Don't give up! I used to get down about work too...I hated it, it was too exhausting. Have you thought how it would be if you didn't have a job? Possibly could make you feel worse than you do now I know it's hard to believe but this too shall pass

Sending you positive thoughts and a whole load of hugs

Yeah I was doing this, days off here and there. But I used too many already and I only have 6 days left to take until the end of April I can't even see how I can make it there!

What makes it hard for you at work? Anxiety or depression? Anxiety is a little easier to work with, meds can help quickly. I don't like to be over med I need to be 100% functional on my job. But I do get anxiety attacks at work that make it difficult for me. Also my mood swings don't help. Talk to your doctor! He can help u! Low doses of xanax or klonopin will smooth out the ruff edges without making you feel drugged. Just having them helps me, I use as needed. But you may need to use as a preventative. Talk to your doc!

It's not just work though, it's everything! I can't stand it anymore I want to give up on everything. I want everything to just stop. I need everything in my head to just shut up. But it never does.

It's not anxiety, just more overwhelmed with having to get up everyday, go to work, see people and struggling with my moods too. It's too hard to keep on masking it and acting like everything is ok.

Just take it one day at a time and just do what you can Try not to think of the week or ahead or anything like that, baby steps!

Thanks. It's just hard right now.

I can totally relate to this. I am overwhelmed so easily by things that other people seem to find normal. Dressing myself, getting somewhere etc... I mean I DO it but it is SO much work! If I go out one day, I need so much down time afterward. And the thoughts of what I need to do coming up (son's birthday party, the kids starting school) overwhelm me so much that literally I just stand still like a dear in the headlights and fall apart.
Just one day.. just one day at a time. Dont look at the week, just get through each moment.

[allme]

Yeah, one day at a time Hope tomorrow is a gooden for you
