I’ve got myself into a bit of a state with anxiety. I focus on sleep, then panic I won’t sleep, then don’t sleep! Getting stuck in a horrible loop. I know I can sleep I just need to not worry but it’s easier said than done. I have been off with the past two days with bad anxiety due to this. I’ve been to the doctors and am now back on fluoxetine after sporadically taking it. I’m so scared that I won’t sleep on Sunday even with a tablet then will have to ring in sick again to work! I now have anxiety about having anxiety before work! I’ve been signed off before with this but it didn’t really help as it just meant I was equally as anxious when I returned to work! I love my job (I’m
a teacher) but I have this huge fear of going in anxious and sleepless! Do I just face the fear or will it make me have a breakdown?!
