First of all, you can vent all you need. It's so important to get these things off your chest that slowly build up over time. I can't really offer much advice besides make your mental health a priority and try to intentionally slow down when you have a feeling that things get too much. As a chronic overthinker myself I know it's easier said than done but overthinking about all the 'what ifs' ("What if I get laid off/ What if I can't find something else/ What if I can't support my family financially anymore...) will only make you spiral even more. It's important to listen to the early signs of your body when you start to feel overwhelmed and concentrate on grounding yourself. Panic attacks are the worst. In the moment it feels like a life or death situation but the overwhelming anxiety will fade again. It's exhausting and frightening and I don't wish that on anybody. I'm aware that a lot of people don't have access to a therapist but I would highly advise to seek professional help if you have the opportunity. If that's not possible for you please look into mindfulness, breathing and grounding techniques. That alone can go a long way. Be kind to yourself.

Hey Friend, go ahead fill out the form and or reach out to friends. But your on here so please stop being negative to yourself, we all do it, do something that makes you smile instead. Open as embarrassing as this is I make fart sounds or donkey brays sometimes just to laugh. Do it I just exposed myself. But anyways the jackass boss we all have one of those in life. One job I had the general manager asked me if I respected him and he knew damn well I didn't, I worked in auto shop and I told him your right I don't
respect you bc you treat the service department like shit and we keep you afloat. I didn't get fired but at some point you have to stand up for yourself and know YOU MATTER!!!
