11. Man! This week I've been having big anxiety issues
Fri Aug 10, 2012, 11:34 PM
Aug 2012

feeling like I need to yawn or raise my arms to take a deep breath, only I "know"
I don't really NEED to do that. I think about all I have to do at work and it's like I seize up
And get a step ahead and 2 steps back. It doesn't help that I feel woefully inadequate at work
and don't really enjoy what I'm doing, but I have three years until I'm eligible to retire.
I'm trying to stick it out

I'm going to go drink some sleepy time tea, put on a meditation podcast and try to
concentrate on relaxing. I need to play catch up at home tomorrow since we just got back
from vacation, and it was a good family vacation.

I'd like to be able push a button to put everybody on hold to take time to pull ahead a bit. I'd turn it back on again, but not before I felt I'd accomplished enough. It sounds like a cop-out, but it really seems my senses are saturated - everybody chattering and everything and everyone on display at work in our wall-less cubbies.
