Thank you, WifeMamaNurse 😊 I'm currently nibbling at the work project and trying to break it down into small components to tackle it in bite sized increments. On a positive note, I did manage to pack a decent lunch, thanks to a fridge full of leftovers

I keep working, too, but have limited my hours.

💚 Deep breaths, a pause🧘🏼♀️… then ask, “What is the goal or desired outcome?” followed by, “What steps are required to achieve this?” A friend of mine has anxiety attacks and she gets so caught up in the initial disaster that she can’t get past it— and then she’s stuck on this hamster wheel of panic. I hope the moment has passed for you 💚

Please talk to your doctor. And don't hesitate to try medication. Life isn't an endurance contest. Take care!

I get whacky before my period- completely anxiety ridden and laying in bed wondering how I am going to accomplish XY & Z. I feel for you. At least you are smart enough to not eat crap. I'm nearly at my calorie limit and it isn't even 1 p.m.

This might be TMI but I was this was this way until I got on my antidepressant. Totally changed my life

hanna and others who've mentioned meds and docs -- on 'em, yep, and under the care of a psychiatrist. My bipolar (diagnosed over 20 years ago) is well controlled... but I still do have some anxiety and depression to contend with some days. Maybe TMI on my part, but I'm pretty open about it. Morticia - thank you, I appreciate your kind thoughts. :) HCB - I've thought about asking to cut my hours, but it would delay when I could retire, so I've been sticking it out. Plus, I'd probably end up just doing the same 40 hours of work in 32, lol. JB... goal or outcome is to get this project off my dang plate! Getting there. I broke it down into smaller components and kept at it, giving myself brain breaks. Almost done with it for the day! Thank you all <3 (can't get real emojis at the moment...)

And DP -- I somehow missed you. Post-menopausal here, so can't blame PMS, although when I still had it, I would become completely nonfunctional for a day or two. I get it. I can't say that I'm smart enough not to eat crap... I've just made it more difficult to get readily

That is really difficult! I feel this so much! My ADHD can make simple tasks super overwhelming. That is one of the reasons I rely on protein bars and protein shake mix so much. When my super neurodivergent brain won't cooperate, well, I've got an easy fix.
Writingwyo, you having healthy food options around you is smart, and a great way to protect yourself from the times when life gets in the way.
Thank you for sharing. 💚

Thanks, Snowwhite. Hugs back! Wisco Soul -- a lot of us have brains that work a little differently, don't we? ;-) I'm just so grateful I've gotten to the point where things are manageable most days. I'm glad you've found a way to handle things as well. A lot of us have something we need to learn to work with and/or around, whether physical or mental. :)

I completely understand because I feel this way sometimes. "Adult lunchables" (bento boxes, maybe?) were always a favorite when I was in this kind of mindset. I wish you peace and strength to overcome these challenges.
