Work Anxiety

[Jodz]

So the last 4 days my anxiety was non existent , I even had a few ciders fri and sat and felt great the next day . Went horse riding Saturday and caught up with a friend Sunday for lunch . Went into Drs this morning and had my flu shot all good . Got home and about 10 am it all spiralled . Felt weird , shaky , lightheaded , sick , weak legs etc etc etc . Why because I had to work at 4 pm . Driving to work and my heart rate was 120 . Ended up taking a Xanax . This is bullshit !!! Why why why is this happening 🤔😞😞

I’ve had this same issue in the past. Got over it after time. For me it was because I was new at the job. My legs would literally shake while I was driving. Meds help. Use them as needed. Maybe talk to a doctor or therapist about something you can take daily like lexapro to help with it. Can I ask what you do and what it is about Work that brings it on?

I work in Disability in a residential accommodation that has 24 hr support for 4 ladies . Very high behaviours , mental health etc .

A new staff member that has

come in is causing waves . Our team work has gone out the window due to her thinking she knows it all and trying to change everything . Not nice atm as I hate it and should work together not apart

Sounds stressful. I can understand why you have anxiety. Maybe she will relax after a while. If not maybe talk to a supervisor
