The panic attack was a surprise to me. But then I was like, 'Why would we ever know a panic attack is coming?' I leaned into the unexpectedness of it. I have had my own experience with it in the past, and I was having, weirdly, imposter syndrome about my panic attack. Did I even really experience it? I was looking up symptoms, and I was like, Oh no, I did.
Monet, a special-ed high school teacher, clarified that the kids aren't the problem. It's the rest of it: the endless paperwork, shifting lesson plans, and constant assessments. Inside the rage room, Monet was tentative at first, but then entered a flow state, conjuring up something that was bothering her before taking each swing.
My time in a fine dining kitchen as a line cook was one of the most stressful and surprising experiences I ever had. It wasn't just difficult work. It was a difficult environment for a number of reasons. It was cramped and frantic, and the personality clashes you see on shows like "The Bear" were not uncommon. I don't recommend it.

A survey by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) of more than 20,000 nursing staff found that 66% had worked when they should have been on sick leave, up from 49% in 2017. Just under two-thirds (65%) of respondents cited stress to be the biggest cause of illness, up from 50% in 2017.
