Anxiety Attacks (literally)

Last week, I became fearful to go to work. Every morning I would freak out and tell my boyfriend i couldnt do it. I locked myself in my house for a whole week. This week, I'm back at work and every morning I cry and get really scared to get dressed. I'm praying this feeling goes away because it is very overwhelming and takes a lot out of me.

I understand where you are coming from, I'm an agoraphobic, so leaving my house can be very scary for me. I wish you all the best. Have a wonderful day & Breathe! XXX

I receive daily emails from dictionary.com. Yesterday I received the word, ergophobia-fear of work. I looked into it a little more and they explained something traumatic may have occurred in one of your work places. I am working with my therapist to handle situations I would other wise avoid. I tend to try ignoring when something really does need to be addressed. I just did not know how to. Maybe role playing with a trusted person any situation that really upset you may help.
