I am in crisis, in flight or fight from the time I wake up. I need advice on next steps ?
It’s my work. It’s a socially complex workplace and at times makes me feel unsafe, which is triggering and making me people-please and fawn, which makes me feel, unsafe, inauthentic, a form of self abandonment.
I already work part-time to manage the stress of this work place, and this week I will WFH. But last week I had to go away with other staff for 3 days. It seriously baked me, I ended up feeling completely anxious, a nervous wreck.
The weekend didn’t provide any relief. Now my body and mind have flipped into extreme anxiety and I don’t know what to do next.
The anxiety is making me isolate from everyone because every social interaction feels like a demand or a threat, I say things I always regret, I ruminate for days.
It feels like I am in an anxiety crisis. If you have experienced this how do you push through? What could I do next to improve my reality.
