Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
My problem is that anxiety is interfering with my work and I don't know how to explain my situation to my supervisor. He's a very kind person, but he has no experience with anxiety so it's difficult to explain things like why I'm late for work because I had a panic attack or why the quality of my work suffers when I'm anxious.
Have any of you had this problem? If so, how did you talk to your boss about it?

I did the dumbest thing today. I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds. I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym. What a dummy!

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
a) the boss can provide a calm place (I just used the restroom with water on face and five second breathing, worked enough to get back on task)...
b)no reason to be late for work, anxiety is natural...set everything up night before, and focus on every task, go out the door and start the day off on time...I do this having anxiety attacks (written lists are great to keep everything flowing)>
If the quality of work suffers, then you need to set up regular breaks to be able to focus on task.
Hope this helps.
