AnxiousA
So for most of my life I have had pretty good work ethic: I've had to work many jobs at a time, drive long distances, sleep very few hours, I've worked really difficult salaried positions with crazy hours and no days off, etc.
Currently I have one of the easiest jobs I have ever had as I am going back to school; it's a simple job, it doesn't pay as much but enough, it has decent benefits...but lately I've been having this anxiety when I first wake up to get ready for the day.
I know it's irrational and once I get up and go in to work it goes away and I'm totally fine, but recently it's reached a point that I have missed entire days due to this morning anxiety. I keep telling myself I just need a mental/ personal day to regroup and then I'll be fine, but it keeps happening - and on the days I don't go in, I don't really feel any better because it really is just anxiety and I end up trying to waste the time away or sleeping most of the day....This morning I felt really good when I woke up and connected to my emotions and even then, I didn't go in because I was like, " I need this day". I know this obviously comes down to will power but this is definitely not normal for me, and the feeling is so strong.
I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this/ knows why it happens/ has found any helpful solutions. I keep saying this job is easy but I'm going to lose it - which again, I have never done before - if I keep missing days.
