really struggling

[DMM1188]

hi everyone,

a lot of my anxiety has been work related.. all of the things I’ve been doing to help me worked at first ( therapy, the gym, cbd) etc but now I feel like they barely help. I got a note from my doctor asking for accommodations at work and my boss seemed supportive. I told him that having an extra staff in the class has been very helpful for the student who’s caused a lot of my anxiety. He said he would keep doing it, but the last two weeks he completely stopped helping with that. Also one of the one to ones has been openly critical of me and snapping at me in front of the kids and that has not helped my anxiety either. I just don’t know what do to and I wish I had someone to talk to . The therapist does help but it’s only once a week. And my mom is now back in the hospital after having a stroke in January ( it’s not another stroke but it was a pretty bad scare) . Thanks.

My anxiety is related to depression and it can go up and down. It's hard to ride out the rough times. And I don't really have anybody I can share with either. There are phone lines you can look up and call if you just need someone to talk to in the moment. Just hang on and remember that it won't be that bad long, it'll get better again. You're doing some good things to keep it in check. For me there are just some times when I do everything and nothing works. I saw a suggestion to write down all the good things about your life when you're feeling good so that you can read over them during bad times.
