Over the past month i have had what i think sound like a anxiety attack.
any advice from people its happened to?
first i felt dizzy then i felt like i was going to pass out when i was driving then in the middle of shopping. (different days)
i was emotional aswell, i heard someone random died and i cried about it.
this was in my own time.
i work in early years in a room with two main other people, i think i had a attack just as i was leaving for work, when it passed i just went to work. i was only a few minutes late so i think nobody noticed.
when i was at work person 1, asked me how i was, i told them. later in week person 1 was not in work, i mentioned to person 2 that i havent felt well, they said person 1 had told them in case anything happened.
then i realised i probably should have spoken the manager first.
I didnt think about speaking to the manager and i was feeling a bit emotional so properly put it off. the manager is normally busy and once the children come in we are busy, so im not sure when i can go and talk to them.
Ive been to the doctors about my symptoms the dizzyness is being refered to ENT which is a long wait and ive had blood tests that show all ok.
I dont know if i did have a anixety attack and not sure if will have again.
we are experiencing a heatwave this week and we had a policy about health and safety.
How do i know if im going to safe working? i feel like i should be able to control myself.
if i mention to the manager they have to tell the deputy manager, and i will just worry if i see them are they watching me to see if i will have a anxiety attack?
who else will they have to tell in case of health and safety?
what if im wrong and i havent had a anxiety attack and its nothing?
