Hey just wondering how anyone else deals with crying when you’re at work ? I hate it I feel like my eyes get so swollen and red everyone staring at me. Crying as I’m typing this I suffer from anxiety and depression as well as get panic attacks. Currently drinking chamomile tea to try to relax a bit.

We really can't stop tears when they need to come out and I don't think we should have to.
Yeah I try to be as discreet as possible. My severe anxiety made me feel like I was going to burst into tears at the slightest thing. If my meds hadn’t kicked in I probably would have lost my job. Depression and anxiety had me making too many mistakes.
I try and take deep breaths and go into the bathroom and put a wet paper towel underneath my eyes. I also blame allergies sometimes. I’m such an obvious crier too so it’s hard to hide it!
Oh my gosh, then I’m not the only one? I go in my car to cry.
Sounds strange but have you tried having a good cry before you start work (so you kind of release all that emotion in a scheduled way?). I’ve been doing ‘worry time’ advised be my CBT which is a 30 min time slot for worrying, panic and crying. Then I meditate and do calm breathing. Then I start the day......sometimes that helps stop the build up of the anxiety if I let it out each morning before it gets to breaking point?
