Why do I have huge anxiety when thinking about the work week?

It’s Sunday night and I am already in an almost full panic thinking about work tomorrow. I have anxiety and panic disorders and am on medication but it doesn’t help. I am depressed and anxious sitting here.

When I go to sleep, I will check my clock every hour making sure I haven’t overslept. It’s so stupid. Last night I was even worrying about tonight! What is this because it can’t be anxiety, I am maxed out on anti-anxiety medicine. Help?

Chosen Answer:

If you are on anxiety medicine, are you talking with a therapist too? You need to find out the root of the anxiety, the trigger so you can focus on how to deal with that. Also if your medication is not alleviating the anxiety, you may want to discuss a different one. I feel your pain, I have social anxiety, which makes me dread even being around people, but with the right meds and therapy, I have progressed greatly.

Good luck
