Recently had to start going back into the office once a week. I’m getting in a terrible headspace the day before I need to go in. I can’t stop thinking about all the things I have to do  — wake up early, drive, shower, do my hair, makeup, pick out an outfit, make sure my bag is packed, check to see if I have my work ID, pack snacks, check to make sure I have the number of the desk I’m renting… and so on. I do as much as I possibly can to prepare but it’s causing me so much distress. 

My office unfortunately is about a 45 min drive from where I live and about an hour 10 on the way back. I go in early and leave early to avoid traffic, but that’s only helping so much. 

Having a hard time relieving this anxiety. Anyone else going through this? How do you help yourself?
