Hello.

Reading that made me think that you are the important one. Self care is what you need. I k ow we all need jobs but if we are not right as individuals then we cannot work.

In order to be better, self care is paramount. Regardless if you have a job and you feel the way you do then this will put added pressure on you.

You need to talk to your doctor and surround yourself with positive people. Or family members. Reach out. It’s hard to fix yourself when you need help.

I hope by me replying to this you realise that you do care about yourself as you have posted on here looking for answers.

My only answer is self care. Im new to anxiety and I have been honest and reached out. Paving over things brings things crashing down.

Take care.

Hi friend. Anxiety is a cruel trickster that leads us down the path to our darkest thoughts. It will only be enhanced by lack of sleep. I am so sorry that you are feeling this way right now and hope that you are able to find relief soon. One thing that helped me sleep (mostly) through the night last night was listening to the "Deep Release" meditation on the DARE app. I also used the affirmation meditation during my lunch break today when my anxiety spiked. It's a good resource to check out if you haven't already. I also repeat to myself that "fear is not danger and I am safe" when I feel like I'm spiraling and that helps a bit. Sending you so much support.
