Lost It

I lost my job today. Or rather, I'm putting in notice before they can fire me. I've missed two days of work now due to anxiety attacks. Wednesday afternoon I slept right through my shift. Hours before work starts, or even the night before, I get so anxious and stressed about going to work that it's finally come to this. They've been very accommodating so far about my mom and needing to take care of her, but now I've missed work entirely and I feel like I owe it to them to leave so they can find someone without problems to work around.
I feel so useless.

you are NOT useless. You are ill right now. See if you can take some sort of leave of absence. Explain you are having some medical problems and don't want to let them down, but would appreciate them considering your re-employment when you are feeling better. YOU ARE NOT USELESS! you are having some problems, and need to get your self better. YOU ARE NOT USELESS. ok, if you need me to nag more, I'd be happy to, I'm really good at it.

YOU ARE NOT USELESS. You are a bright and wonderful person.

I agree with LAW and add if it's your job that's making you anxious, look for something that won't stress you out. There isn't an easy answer. Get some help and focus on getting yourself better, hugs.

PS I'm off in a few and the bride is coming down:)
