I had an appointment with my T for 4:30 yesterday. I have been feeling particularly bad, really bad anxiety and depression this week.

I actually called in sick Wednesday. Yesterday I left work at 2:00pm. I really had to get out of there and back to my "safe zone" at home. Im very much an isolationist. I called and cancelled the appt. even though I will be charged due to cancelling with less that 24 hours left.

Today, I feel very guilty about missing. I am in a place where I really need to talk to T, but the SAD, etc. makes me just want to hide out at home. I have actually made it to work this morning, but I'm just hiding at my desk, trying to think of a way to get out of here until Monday.

HELP I can't believe I chickened out

Jeff

I would call and check in with your T, make sure you're appointment for next week is set and you'll see her then, etc.? That might make you feel better, "doing" something like that.

Think of something to do at work that will distract you for a bit, a complicated piece of work/project or make yourself a "procedures" manual or some other piece of busywork that will at least organize you more. You might feel differently by the time lunch is over and there's only 4 more hours or so to work. Just get some time to pass.
