I have worked hard for the past year and graduated from an lpn program, I passed my NCLEX and have been licensed since this past feb. I have been successfully and fortunately hired at every job i have applied for and it all has boiled down to where I want to work. I have a decent job, at excellant pay with a great CNO! I have had so many fortunate things happen to me. My dilemma? I have recently begun having what i call anxiety attacks! To the point that I have been unable to attend work. I have gotten up, gotten ready, driven to work and breaking down in tears in my car because i cant muster the nerve to go in, all to turn around and drive home in tears not understanding what the he** is wrong with me. I noticed it began about 2 weeks ago, at first i was able to fight it thru and make it thru my day, but now its like i am afraid to try a new day! I have an appt. with my CNO this next week and I am embarressed and at a loss as to what to say to her, she must think i am nuts! I've missed 2 days work because of this, and its not like i dont need the money, my better half was just laid off a week ago. On monday i am making an appt to see my physician as well. Any ideas? Am I the only one that this has happened to?
Thank you to all of you that have replied and given your advice and thoughts on my situation. I had my meeting today and all went well. My CNO was very understanding and is working with me to make a better transition into my job. I will see my physician this week and I also have an appointment to see a councelor as well. Its made me think when you ladies out there mentioned early menopause. This has all transpiried right at my "time" and i have even looked into possibly PMDD. I will be turning 40 in two weeks and could be facing any of the above, its just been disheartening to have it happen so unexpectedly, especially since all has been going so well. I will see what my physician has to say and talk to her about it. Again I thank you and I am glad to have calmed down to realize i am not the only one to have experienced this and that it can turn out to be just fine. I look forward to the day i can sit back and laugh about it.
