Does anyone else get extremely bad anxiety before going to work, but once you clock in, you're okay? I wake up before my alarm every morning because my brain is already thinking about it. I immediately feel sick and weak, my stomach in knots. This lasts the entire morning, and it gets worse until I literally clock in. I throw up so often in the mornings and I feel like Im dying. My job isnt even that bad, it's hard work and it's exhausting but I am not really worried about the day because I know what will typically happen. Literally as soon as I step out of the car and walk towards the building, I can feel my anxiety fading away. Anyone have tips to avoid these feelings? What can I do to calm myself down?

I started working at a daycare nearly two weeks ago. First day was computer training, and the second day is when they put me in a classroom. I got sick THAT day. I had a sore throat and a cough, definitely hard to deal with especially when I am constantly speaking and on my feet, but I woke up at around 3 AM on Thursday morning throwing up, all my previous symptoms worsening and awful body aches. My entire head/nose/throat/ears are congested with mucus, it hurts to breathe, and I can't sleep because I keep coughing. I can't even stand up without feeling dizzy and weak, and I have zero appetite and can hardly eat anything. I feel awful because I just started this job and I've already called out yesterday and today, but I physically cannot do my job like this and it's not my fault that parents keep sending their sick kids to school (seriously, almost every child in my class was coughing and not feeling well). Every single part of my body hurts or is uncomfortable. I had a fever all day too. I am in agony and just wanted to bitch about this.
