Hi, Heather! LTNS;) What has been going on? Is there some changes in your life that has contributed to the return of anxiety? Is everything ok @ work?
I know that for me the spells can come out of the blue. Or, they feel as if nothing triggered them, but I can see that it was an accumulation of stress or I haven't been taking care of myself. Lack of sleep & not exercising are 2 things that I must have. Following a routine is helpful too.
Anyhoo, I am sorry to hear this): I know that it's rough, but also know that you have faced the anxiety before & have good coping skills to combat this setback. We care about you & want you to succeed. We have really missed you. Please stay safe & keep in touch. (((hugs))) jan
Anyway, my rise in anxiety has been kind of building for maybe a few weeks. Triggered by, of course, a stupid music program I had to interpret for the school where I work.
You don't say how old this student is or what sort of behavior you have had to put up with. I suspect maybe a teen? Anyway, even if you loved your job, that would not be easy to handle. I agree that it will not blow over by tomorrow. But, taking a break today gave you a respite to get your ducks in a row. You are doing the best that you can. I hope that you can get this resolved & regain your balance. Please take care, Heather. Keep us posted. (((hugs))) jan
She's only 7. But she has some disabilities and mentally is not at the same level as most of the other kids in her grade. The behaviors aren't horrible, she's just learning to put the boundaries, and she likes to be in control and only do what SHE wants to do when SHE wants to do it... which at school doesn't work so well, as I'm sure you understand. It's just that the classroom teacher, who really isn't as involved in things just because we aren't in the classroom much and because of the communication situation, and really started to notice the problem and is trying to help. But since I'm hypersensitive NORMALLY and even worse lately, it just has not been a good situation.
I did the same thing 2 weeks ago; I ended up home for 2 days claiming the stomach flu. You do need to get back in there, no matter how scared you are. I am still having a very hard time but am forcing myself to come in. It seems like once you're there, you have more to focus on than your anxiety, so it eases things a little.
Hang in there and keep posting. I've had anxiety for 15+ years and have seen that no matter how low we feel, we always bounce back. Take care!

thanks, I'll write more later explaining things. But I have to ask cause I can't figure this one out... what is LTNS? I don't know that one. :)
Okay, so I'm back. :)

I managed to make it in today, and did alright overall.
