Sorry you’re going through this. As a fellow anxiety sufferer, I’d say the first thing to do is see your doctor. Take some sick days if you need to. Don’t do anything rash.

Agree. Take a couple mental health days and just disconnect. And def start seeing a therapist

Use your sick days and do something that brings you joy. Talk to a therapist. Exercise. These things will help distance you from feeling under attack.

Deadlines can induce anxiety attacks for me. I worked through the weekend and just woke up to a (nice!) email from the client asking about progress. We're not going to hit deadline. This caused an all-out anxiety attack at 6:30 am and now I have to somehow get myself together and work.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.
