I’m afraid of how he’ll react when he finds out I reported him and I’m not coming home

I'm sorry that this has happened to you!

My disability assistance is being cut off. The last cheque is for January.

I am struggling to find work. I need an income in January so as to pay my rent for February.

I'm sorry to hear that! I'm in the same situation. I'm about to lose mine over loans I never took out.

I knew full well this was a crappy time of year to be looking for one. As of this date I have applied for 26 jobs - and not heard from a single one. This is all very disconcerting and hits my confidence and self-esteem quite hard. What is wrong with me I am asking myself? It is reaching the point that I worry too that I am suffering paranoia and jumping to every negative conclusion that can be thought of.

This is not a situation I have ever been in before. I've normally had a choice of job offers. I am really freaking out.

I feel the same way! I apply to many jobs and never heard back from one of them.

One thing I learned through my job search was that the more jobs you apply for the better your chances are. The job market is very hard nowadays. There was a week where I set a limit to myself - minimum 50 applications a day. It took me a few hours each day but really helped me confidence - because the more I did the more likely I would be to get a response.
After that week, while I was submitting my 50 for the next day, I got a hit from the job that is now my current place.

Just relax. Things will be okay.

Great advice!

This time of the year is extremely difficult and it's triggering so many memories that I'm not being able to cope with

I'm sorry that you are struggling right now!

I started spotting yesterday. And I got a light period today. I have bad PMDD. I’m on seasonale birth control so I’m not supposed to get my period this month. But now the constant anxiety and worrying and mood swings I had late last week and early this week make sense. It was just PMS.

Turtle_Rider · Dec 16, 2018 at 11:28 PM

I feel awful lately. It seems like I have to take a risk. She said I have to take a risk and accept the change. I know it is inevitable. I fear the failure, but I have to embrace it. It drives me crazy and anxious. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Sunflower123 · Dec 17, 2018 at 01:59 PM

My anxiety is very high today and I’ve had one panic attack already. I know why it is happening and am taking counter measures but so far it’s not helping.

zapatoes · Dec 18, 2018 at 12:21 AM

Anxiety at baseline 4/10.

BrokenButRebuilding · Dec 18, 2018 at 01:00 AM

I may lose my job tomorrow, so anxiety is at a 7/10

Turtle_Rider · Dec 18, 2018 at 09:26 AM

I wanted to say that Today is one of the best day in my life. I wanted to. It was and it was supposed to be. But no. Anxiety is high right now. I'm having panic attack. I can feel the nausea and high heartbeat. Even the smallest thing can drive me crazy, even though I know it wouldn't be that bad.

may24 · Dec 18, 2018 at 09:39 AM

I'm really struggling with anxiety and hypervigilance lately... I saw my pdoc last week and she said I could try taking lorazepam again if I see that I'm struggling; but I don't like how it makes me feel. I took it last night and it helped me sleep, but I woke up feeling numb and very tired.
I have meditation class this afternoon but I the sole idea of leaving the house and having to interact with people is making me feel more anxious and paralyzed.

Mountaindewed · Dec 18, 2018 at 05:22 PM

My anxiety has been much better since I started my period. I went to a couple Kohl’s today and of course they were insanely crowded. I also went to the mall half an hour after it opened and it was already jam packed. Technically though I don’t have to leave the house before Christmas except to go to work. I have enough groceries and my Christmas shopping is done. So if I want to go out shopping and be anxious that’s my own fault. But in general my anxiety wasn’t too bad today.

(update: I managed to go to my meditation class and it really helped

I'm feeling more present and relaxed now. I decided to spend the rest of the evening taking care of myself, so I took a bubble bath and made myself a yummy veggie bowl for dinner)

Llama_Llama44 · Dec 18, 2018 at 07:13 PM

I'm just so tired of neck / shoulder pain and headaches. I know I need to get back into a routine and keep using coping mechanisms, but they aren't working well lately.

Turtle_Rider · Dec 18, 2018 at 08:27 PM

I woke up today with a nosebleed, meaning that I must feel unwell last night. So the anxiety last night might be caused by physical health than my mental one. Quite surprised because normally I'd realize sooner if I experience a delirium. I must be delirious since I can't remember what I was scared about anymore and I had a nightmare.

Sunflower123 · Dec 19, 2018 at 03:41 PM

My anxiety is an 8/10 today. Having a hard time with anxiety. I know why it’s happening and I have designated worry times but am still having panic attacks.

Mountaindewed · Dec 20, 2018 at 03:56 PM

My anxiety was pretty bad today. I’m not sure why. I guess it was just because the stores were so crowded and I’m worried about work tomorrow. I don’t think I’m eating enough or all that healthy either. My diet might be a big part of it.

made08 · Dec 20, 2018 at 07:12 PM

I'm okay. There's less stress since I have finished my college courses and my doctor gave me an excuse letter for jury duty. The only thing that is worrying me is about finding a job next year.
