Has anyone ever suddenly felt incapable of doing something that seems simple for work? Recently I can’t open or respond to emails from my employer. I don’t know why it’s suddenly practically giving me a panic attack… But not replying or looking at them is only making matters worse, but every time I try to just deal with it I feel weirdly terrified and so much anxiety 😔🙈

      Hey Giovanna, I've absolutely been there (twice!). Once I was really burned out and stressed, and the second time it wasn't the right job for me and made me really anxious (I resigned). I would wake up really early feeling so anxious and overwhelmed, and just feel unable to open my laptop! The first time someone was able to step in and manage my inbox and deal with critical things while I was off sick for a bit (so I didn't have a load of critical stuff to do when I came back!). Are you able to talk to your boss about it and take a little time off? Sometimes all you need is a break - a holiday or some time off sick to rest (if you're stressed and your doctor will sign you off). Other support could be through a counsellor or coach. I don't know what's happening in your life that's causing this but I hope you're able to figure something out x
