My mind is my enemy.

So, it always seems to be the little things that bring on panic attacks. Right now, I am about to leave to work at an entirely different store than my home store and I am just imagining all the things that could go wrong. Even though it is completely unrealistic, I am still scared. My heart is racing, I feel sick to my stomach and it's absolutely ridiculous. I know I am good at my job, so why do I feel so nervous?

I am terrified of being miserable, especially at work, so I am psyching myself out.

Hi, it's so frustrating isn't it! I don't have panic attacks anymore but I also never say never. I used a writing method when I had panic, I started to write down my thought at the point that anxiety started, just that immediate thought. I kept doing that over a period of time and I began to see what kind of thinking triggered panic. I do think it helped me personally.

I guess you could be sensitized, so small things will set you off. It takes time to get de-sensitized so do the meditation, take a holiday if poss, and retrain your thoughts. Im saying this because lm going through exactly the same at the moment. Im looking at Wonderbro on Youtube who follows the teachings of Claire Weeks, try him see if it helps.
