Confident
I have a 1.5+ hour commute to work daily on public transit. I have to take a subway train, and then a bus. It's always very busy. I have tried listening to music, listening to calming meditations, reading something light that I'd enjoy. Nothing seems to help. My anxiety is always through the roof. Changing jobs right now is not possible. I have taken a bit of time off lately because I was dissociating so much while on transit I kept getting lost on my way to and from work. I came back to work yesterday after 2 weeks off, and already I feel like I was never off. Any other tips on how to deal with crowded transportation? School will be back in session soon, which means it will only become worse. Moving is also not an option at this time.
