Hi, welcome to the forum. I don’t know how you get over it, wish I did. My anxiety went sky high so I ended up going on medical leave from my job, it’s been a long road. I’ve had anxiety all my life but at times it completely takes over and I become almost non functional.

I dont even know what triggered it this time. I have also realized that being around people is getting harder. Anxiety is making me feel judged. Did the medical leave help? Sorry about being nosey....but what did you do while you were off?

in reply to D0119

Yes it helped, i ended up resigning after 12 weeks and went on disability for a while. I cried a lot, journaled, went on walks, cried, saw a therapist.

Honestly for just a little bit of instant relief I really enjoy listening to meditation podcasts

I am 39 mother of 4. I have had anxiety since I was 15. I don't think you get over it either. Just one day at a time you figure out how to get through the day. It's hard I know for my self. I feel bad because my kids and husband don't understand this. I was at my lowest scary point last month. Sending positive vibes your way and pray you find what will work for you. 💓
