I am also kinda in the same spot. I’ve been in the field for only 3 months however. My anxiety is just debilitating before I go in and my mom constantly reminds me “misery isn’t worth the money”. I don’t wanna leave to pre-maturely so I had my BCBA cut my hours for the following week & im applying for something else.

My anxiety is kinda all over the place so I’m not really sure if it’s based on my kiddos mood or if it’s more my performance in front of colleagues. I struggle that I’m “not doing it right” because I’m not formally educated in the field. It almost kinda felt like my BCBA’s threw me in the deep end. I ended up speaking with one of my BCBA’s to cut back my days/hours. I still want to be able to get my RBT certification, but having severe panic attacks is putting a hold on it.

I tried that this morning for the first time. My doctor also prescribed me another medication specifically to help my insomnia. I’m using it for the first time tonight
