We worked it out that I would start working part time to help settle me in, which made me feel better and more positive about going in. It happened again this morning, I was crying and having panic attacks and was determined I couldn't do the job, I rang up my manager again and told her I wanted to quit. Her response was that she didn't want me to quit and to take the day off and get myself together. I ended up going in today and doing some admin tasks for her to help myself and to prove I could go in. I am sat here after going in and having only slight anxiety becoming more and more worried about tomorrow and the rest of the week and the year!! It sounds crazy but I am anxious at night and in the morning before work and then whilst I am there and working I seem to be okay. Has anyone got any advice for this anxiety and panic attacks? I really would appreciate anything that can help me get through this because I don't want to quit this job as much as I keep telling myself I cant do it!
thank you!
