I missed posting an entry on my blog yesterday. I've been having a hard time yesterday and today in dealing with my stress. I'm very anxious about returning to work on Monday and this has caused a lot of irritability and stress. When I get like this I become reclusive and I find that things easily set me off.
I had a hard time getting motivated to do the body scan and the 10 mindful breathing exercise yesterday. I was able to do the body scan today and I did fall a sleep for a bit but when I woke up I felt really restless and I stopped the body scan about 5 minutes early. I was getting this strange feeling all over my body that makes it almost impossible to sit still.
Work has always been difficult for me since I first started having symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety. I had a good work ethic prior to that but when the panic attacks struck I was terrified to be in social situations. All of this still continues today to some degree and it is this fear of losing my job because of this illness that has me very worried. I don't plan on missing any work in the future and this is one of my goals, to get my work ethic back.
