New job has not been going well. I’m so far behind that things are escalating to Director level. I’m new enough to not know if the volume of work is normal. I don’t dislike the work but I can’t keep up. I worked from 8AM to 2AM with a 2 hour break for dinner one day this week and I feel like I didn’t make a dent.
My boss is brand new so she’s still learning too, so she’s trying to help but there’s not a lot she can do.
I am in the middle of a panic attack that started in the grocery store that I’m trying to work through. Old bad feelings are starting to come up. That’s probably worth addressing but who knows how long it would take to get an appointment. Just trying to find a way to deal with the acute issues for now.

Thanks... calmed down some. Still stressed, but just stressed and not completely panicked. Getting relaxed enough so I can get to sleep. -- nm
