I just couldn't do it...

Up since 5am crying, nauseous and so severely dizzy I can hardly stand. I don't know what I'm going to do, but I don't think I can deal with the current anxiety and stresses at work anymore. Financially, I'm not in a good place to quit and I'm so worried that my life is imploding. Today is my birthday too, and all I can think is I want this anguish to go away.

PS I have a call into my Dr about my symptoms - waiting for a call back.

Thank you. I took all last week off and things just kept progressing...woke.up to a full blown anxiety attack and called off work. I'll probably get fired. 😥

What kind of work do you have? That is nice that you took time off- it's important.

That sounds very rewarding, but if you are doing fund raising, I imagine that is stressful.

Happy belated birthday! I hope that you had a great one! :) Did you get a call back from your doctor?

I understand that you can't quit your job just yet, but is it possible that you could begin looking to see what other options are out there, so you could make a transition there isn't an improvement?

Have you considered a second job that would help ease financial pressure, but is also rewarding emotionally? When times were tight for myself, I did babysitting and taught GED courses to earn extra cash. Those are just a few examples.

Please write back and let me know how you are doing.
