Quitting and/or slacking has yet to provide me with long-term solutions, whether I am quitting a relationship, school, work or what have you. In my personal herstory, quitting provides some short-term relief, but the worries always come back, meaner and more complex than ever.

But that is me. . .

Gentle support while you figure your own. Listening. . .

Could you just delay a decision until you feel calmer? Take the day off and think about it. What are your options if you do quit. Many is the time I’ve acted on impulse and regretted it. Could you do a balance sheet, pros one side and cons the other?Good luck whatever you decide.

Agree. Don't do anything hastily today.

You could tell us more about your anxiety and panic attacks if you want, we are here to help. How long have you had anxiety, and have you tried anything to help them?

Stop, pause, breathe.

You've taken the important first step in writing out how you feel.

Do not make a financial decision while you are in the throes of anxiety (acute, overwhelming, or otherwise out of balance).

Keep writing out the thoughts, emotions, feelings, and words to help you sort out the pattern so you can figure out what you are able to work out and help you find calm.

Take off a day once in a while. Do things that calm you when not at work.
Start looking around for a job you could do from home, routine or not
very stressful. See what your options are before quitting.

I’ve been off work three weeks with mixed anxiety and depression. It’s awful. Miss wants a chat next week but too anxious to go in even though I said I would. Any advice would be appreciated

Do not quit your job unless you have another one in the pipeline.

    Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
