........ If you try all of the above options and you find that you still can't get out of bed, then perhaps you can find a job that allows you to work flexible hours or to work "second shift." Here in the U.S., many organizations have shift work. For example, since hospitals never close, many hospital workers can work either 8am-4pm, 4pm-12 midnight, or 12midnight-8am. Perhaps you could try the 4-12 shift?
Bekka,
Thanks for conributing that information! BOTH my parents have worked 2nd shift most of their lives. Most of my jobs have always entailed 2nd shift work as well(and currently so)! Interestingly, the first panic attack I ever had was having to *switch* from 2nd shift to 3rd shift temporarily to cover vacations for the 3rd shift folks. I remember getting really uptight about it and leaving for work at 10pm and I started to get more and more uptight as I got to the factry. When I got inside I freaked and had to go and try to "puke" in the bathroom. I was all flushed and my heart was racing. I tried and tried to puke and couldn't. I finally just went to the assembly line where I had to work. The minute I had to start working I was OK. The panic thing repeated itself the next nite (but with lessened intensity). I get freaked with schedule changes which clashes with my set patterns.
