I woke up this morning not feeling well. I have that stomach ache lump in my throat feeling. I ate some yogurt but I feel worse. I hate asking my boss if I can leave early but I am just not having a good day. I am not sure If I should stick it out or go home. If I stay it will be total hell, but I don't like drawing attention to myself when im anxious. what should i do?

Hi Anna,

I know how you feel. I had a tough week of work this past week. I didn't want to go because I wasn't feeling good, stomach pains, worry, etc... BUT I pushed through it. It was hard, almost everyday and I just wanted to leave but I didn't. Now, I feel stronger that I pushed myself, and you can too. Work through it, go there and try. If you don't make it through the day, it's o.k. You'll feel accomplished that you at least tried. Feel better, you'll be fine.

Thanks everyone for responding. I think I am just going to stay here. I think my anxiety is starting to subside. I brought my flashcards with me and that has been helping. Thanks for listining

Anna, I hope you're doing better today.
