Background: suffer with generalised anxiety, taking sertraline, had CBT about a year ago which I found very helpful.
However this afternoon I'm wracked with anxiety about work tomorrow.
I have been putting off two bits of work off for a few weeks (4 weeks in all honestly), nothing critical, but both things need doing nonetheless. I've let it go on too long, I was putting both things off as I wasn't sure where to start, but have also been through a particularly busy spell where more urgent work which has taken priority, and quite honestly I forgot - then in getting ready to WFH from the end of last week onwards, I've realised how much I've let these things slip.
My boss, who I also consider a friend, will probably be pissed off that I've things drag on so long, as I know she trusts me to be 'on it' and doesn't have to check up on me, like she does others in the team.
Why oh why do I put things off and not insist on a bit of help?
I will need to run both bits past her or her boss, so no escaping how long I've sat on these things.
What's the best approach, fess up? Or just sort it and get the work dealt with and hope everyone's so busy with pandemic prep they don't have time to focus on my idiocy.
I also realise how self-indulgent this must sound with everything else that's going on. God I hate anxiety.
