I'm stressed at work and it's causing my anxiety to go into overdrive. To the point I get fixated on things that are worrying or bothering me. And then I worry and worry and worry at it. I google shit. Stress about it. Struggle to sleep it starts to really creep into my thoughts all the time.
Example: the last few weeks I've been stressing about headlice. Heard a couple of people (with kids in different schools to my daughter) talk about how they have been told about lice in the school. Cue stress overdrive for several weeks. Despite checking both myself and my daughter on a regular basis, I couldn't get worry of it out of my head.
Work is causing me stress. And I know when I'm stress for a sustained period of time I start to really truggle with anxiety. Often about stupid things that I blow out of all proportion to their actual threat.
I've tried talking therapies in the last when I've struggled before. About as much use as the proverbial t*ts on fish. What can u do without medicating...... or quitting my job which I need. I really struggle to rationalise at this point. Now I'm bloody stressing about bed bugs after seeing lots of stuff online, with lots of hotel stays for work coming up. Rationalising at this point will be a struggle. And even when I do, the thoughts will creep back in.
Help I suppose.
