Anxiety is killing my work life

I've been having bad anxiety attacks before big meetings at work. My heart races, I can't focus, I just want to leave the room. I did okay for a while but lately it's gotten worse and I'm worried my boss is noticing. I took a day off last week just because I couldn't handle the panic. Has anyone dealt with work anxiety? Do you tell your employer or just try to power through?

That's a tough spot to be in, especially when you need to be sharp for work. You're not alone in this, and the fact that you're naming it and dealing with it matters.

Those anxiety attacks before meetings are brutal, man. I've been there and it's rough when your body just won't cooperate even though you know the work is fine. Have you found anything that helps you reset before you have to go in?
