Struggling

it does

I completely understand that feeling too.

I think working from home might be better for me too.

At the moment, as soon as I wake up I think what is going to go wrong at work today.

I would agre you need to stay and talk.

Hi,

I have to agree with PersonAnon  - please stay.

Hi

I often get anxiety attacks in the early hours of the morning and try not to wake my husband up with my crying and rocking. Fortunately for me I rarely get this during the day, and I work from home so I could make time till I felt more grounded and the fear lessened to the point that my logical voice can be heard. I am so sorry you are suffering like this.

Hello MrsG,

This seems a common thing, Anxiety is a bad thing foranyone but its seems NDs have it even worse. I hope you Occupatioanl Health goes well and you feel better soon.

I can relate to that. People here are generally non judgemental (there are a few exceptions, of course, but it's usually transparent that they are struggling with their own demons, and you can interpret their comments in that light).  The value of this platform is that you can share things with the only people in the world who can understand on an intuitive level.  

To be honest just putting my feelings on here helps.   

This is generally a good place to come when you’re struggling, I find.  There’s usually someone around to listen.  I have plenty of problems but anxiety isn’t one of them, so is there anything members of this group can do to help you?
