I woke up and got ready for work as per usual and then something unexpected happened. I couldn't get the garage door open. A change in my routine and my whole world is out of sorts.
I couldn't drive my car to the park and ride at the normal time and I missed my bus into the office. Technically, I probably could get to the office. Yes, I definitely could get there. But the overwhelming panic feeling I feel in my chest is preventing me from doing so. That's the frustrating part, my brain just isn't working properly. A change in schedule and I've become non-functional.
So, I've decided to work from home. This should be simple. I have everything I need - my laptop, my phone, my work calendar. And yet, I still feel unsettled. And I can't seem to make the feeling go away.
Logically, this shouldn't be a big deal. But emotionally for me, this is a HUGE deal.
Its times like these that I wish there was someone to guide me through the emotions. Someone to help calm me down and get me back to the place where I am fully functional again. In this moment, I just can't think straight.
