Q: New And In Need of Help
asked by: julev on December 9th, 2005

I am new on these boards and absolutley in hell at the moment with my attacks... Can have a fairly reasonable day but am mostly in a constant state of panic, finding it very difficult to work and sometimes to even go to the shops. I am so scared of losing my job because of going off sick or not working a full day, which doesn't help. Can anyone tell me how they cope with working when suffering from this? I just can't take much more...

What do you do for a job? Are you busy doing things or do you have job where you sit in the same place a lot? I know for some people if they're really busy it keeps thier mind off of the bad thoughts. I actually quit my job a while back because I was in the same boat, but now I have all this time on my hands and it has made it much worse. When I quit I didn't really know I had the anxiety so I wasn't on meds or anything. I think if I had meds now I would be able to go back, so maybe you need a prescription to get you back on track. I have always been afraid to take meds, but I started to take them very recently and for the most part they do help. If it's too much work that's causing the anxiety, maybe you need a good vacation with friends or something fun to do for a while.
