Doomsday

So my next work seminar is on 11th October. I’ve wasted many, many posts on here due to these seminars. They make me stressed, and when I get stressed I fall apart. I think about nothing but the seminar, I obsess over the seminar, I live and breathe the seminar, and when it is over, my body slumps and it takes many days to recover. I know it’s ridiculous, I am well aware that I am the only one in the office that obsesses so much. Everyone in this office is pretty fucked up, but I win the prize for ‘Most Bothered by Seminar.’ I long for an easy fix, but sadly, there isn’t one. At one time I would have employed denial as a coping mechanism, but it seems to have abandoned me. Now I seem to be comfort eating my woes away. Which obviously isn’t an ideal method. So much lovely food, but so much blubber.

Hey Girl,

Do you know what it is about these seminars that bug you the most? Is it going to them? Are you required to participate in something? Perhaps there is something you can narrow down as a main focus of your anxiety. There might be one thing that can be dealt with at a time that might make the experience less stressful in the future. It sucks to worry so much about stuff!

Hi boo boo,

I think it's a combination of travelling to London (trains and the underground system) and having to sit with a group of people I don't know. I do have to participate, they make us work in small groups. Also, I hate being forced to do anything, and we're forced to attend these seminars. And there's 4 of them. So it's knowing that I don't just have t get myself through one of them. Eep!
