I was very stressed and ended up having a panic attack on that Wednesday and had to leave. I got the other shift shortened to 4 hours. A few days later i checked the new schedule and I wasn't going to get a day off for another 5 days(the last day off was 5 days prior to this) and I told my manager that she couldn't be scheduling me this many days in a row especially considering the amount of stress I was under already caused a major panic attack on the one day and anxiety for the next few.

She reluctantly gave me a few days off but was not happy about it what so ever. I'm finally out of school and will be working a lot more but now I get anxious really badly whenever I think about work. What are some ways I can ease my anxiety?
