You're welcome! The only thing that helps me through those moments is just telling myself over and over, you've been through this a million times, you know it's just anxiety, everything's ok, you're not going to fall over or pass out, etc.... etc..... It gets discouraging sometimes. But, all can we do is face the fear for what it is and eventually get past it. Try not to spend too much energy thinking about it though because the more time you think about a symptom, the longer it lasts and the worse it gets.
I know what you mean about thinking about quitting your job because of the anxiety. I work in a doctor's office and am surrounded by people all day and some days it just makes the anxiety fly off the wall. I keep thinking, maybe if I just got a more solitary job where I don't have to be around people all day that maybe it would help. I used to work for a company where I had my own office and hardly saw anyone all day and I took this job with the idea that it would be great exposure work because I have a lot of social anxiety. I've been here a year and a half now. The anxiety is nowhere near as horrifying as it was when I first started (talk about being spaced out all day - I hardly remember those days I was so out of it!!). The anxiety is still there, but it's not as bad. Some days I do feel like just giving up, but.... all you can do is keep working on it and keep going. :confuse: - OIY -
You're not alone by any means!! We're here for you! ;)
