Anxiety

[flawlesssage]

HI! I am feeling super anxious right now! I feel like I can barely breath and I feel like I have a lump in my throat from trying to cry. The reason for this anxiety is that I have work tomorrow and I am super nervous about it. Tomorrow is going to be my second day, so as you can imagine I am nervous about that. But, that is not what is bothering me. The thing that is bothering me is that it is the morning! The reason that this stresses me out is that I am too scared to eat any food in the morning because food is a big trigger for my panic attacks, and my stomach is much more sensitive in the morning, but what if I am working and I pass out because I didn't eat anything? Or what if I get a panic attack? Other than that, I have to drive my friend (we work at the same place), but that means driving with her on the freeway, and that makes me super anxious. I am already going to be anxious tomorrow because of the food thing, but driving her too is just adding to it!! I feel like when I am with a friend, I have to hold in my panic and try to force it away, and we all know that that does not work. I know all the coping skills, but I just don't trust myself enough.

I know what you mean. When I can’t eat from feeling anxious I usually try and drink a chocolate milk or something just to get something in my stomach. Hope you feel better soon!

Starting a new job is hard. It will get easier. Maybe listen to some fun music in the car. As for eating maybe try a protein shake (you can buy them in a bottle...premier protein is good), they are good and fill you up a little.
