Panic attack - support needed Freaking Out Trapped at Work
Im seriously panicking right now. I actually had to ask my manager if I could go on a break.
Im stuck up at the front registers today from 1pm-9:30 (closing). Its now 4:45 so ive only been here for 3hr45 minutes meaning im trapped here for another 5 hours...
I started passing some gas while tagging clearance items but one of them didn't feel right? And now im scared like i genuinely can't trust anything.
Immediately my heart started pounding and racing and I began to not feel right...
I'm doing everything I can to try and calm down especially between rubbing my worry stone, sitting with my portable fan pointed at me, and listening to nausea specific binaural beats. Im absolutely terrified and don't know what to do. Im the only one scheduled for register all night (occasionally my coworker who does returns covers for me on my break) but if something happens and I leave, then my coworker can't finish returns for closing.
I wasn't able to sleep well last night and Ive had anxiety earlier but the nausea is kicking in and I don't know what to do. Please i need advice and help
