Anxiety Support Group
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...

I have been increasingly more and more anxious over the past few months with panic attacks and a feeling of spinning out of control. I have been taking days off work here and there which is making me more anxious because I know how much it is annoying my boss. She always makes me feel guilty when I go back in although she doesn't know about any of my mental health issues. These feelings of guilt about work are feeding into a pattern of guilt and anxiety, making everything worse. Should I talk to my boss about this? I am a teacher and I don't know what the protocol is on people with anxiety or depression. I might get into more trouble. I also don't get on with my doctor so haven't been to see him about this. I am new in town and don't know where else to get support.

as far as speaking to a doc i tink that is a wonderful idea. either look for one online, get a referral from a primary doc, or call your insurance company to see who they cover.
good luck, and let us know how it goes!
As the others suggested, I would definitly ask your Dr. about it, or referrral to a therapist--it's best to get it under control early on--it will be easier to deal with.
good luck--write anytime!

Some bosses will be sympathetic and supporting.... some will not.. Initially it may be best just to say that you have some personal problems that youre working through...discuss this in more detail with a therapist before going into too much detail with your Boss.

Then, check your Insurance and see if your doctor can send you to a psychiatrist.....He, in turn, can forward you to a Therapist....
Honey, get RID of your Doctor!! If you don't like him, can't communicate with him, WHATEVER.....he is no good for you.
Remember, YOU are the customer, and you need help......
Used to be a teacher myself......
Good Luck!! Anxiety is the pitts!!

My advice: Develop a support group if you do not already have one. Friends and family, preacher, doctor, online anxiety friends, etc. Read about it...study it...share your thoughts, feelings, emotions about it. Figure out your triggers and develop your coping mechanisms...and be open to contant tweeking of this bag of tricks... and honestly, I would say do not tell your boss. The boss most likely just wants your warm body in your classroom every day because it is a problem to them when you are absent. Most likely they are not concerned about supporting you. I will be happy to be a support friend for you if you would like since we have much in common. Let me know if I can help... I have big ears for listening!
My advise is seek out medical advice and couseling. This site also helps me. I don't feel so alone or like I'm a unique freak. We're here for you.
