Tried to work :/

I have taken the past 3 days off from work but today I tried and I’m sitting in the parking lot scared. My heart is racing Andy stomach hurts. I’m freezing but I have a headache. My chest is tight. I’m scared, I feel like I might puke.

I know I should go but I’m scared.

Dinogirl89 I am sorry that you don't feel well. but why are you scared. is it because you think you may have the virus? or because leaving work another day? Who do you have as your support team when you need to talk? Family, friends, co-worker? Either way, it is important to take care of you. You are valuable and created with a purpose. take a deep breath and focus. think about the moment you are in . hugs of encouragement.

Update: I ended up going in but I left 4 hours after bc I thought I had the flu, when I got home I was completely fine. My anxiety mimicked the flu. That’s crazy! But i was scared bc my place of employment isn’t cleaning and we’ve had 2 confirmed cases and I don’t want to get it and bring it home to my parents.

Thank you for your kind words!

Dinogirl89 9 see, what you experienced was a panic attack. you are fearful of the getting the virus. take a deep breath.

Do you ever feel like when you try to take a deep breathe, it hurts bc your chest is so tight???

Sometimes that happens.

yes my friend. if it gets really tight and feels like pressure. then it is very possible of a system of a panic attack if there is not any other health issues.

Not what you're looking for?
