My experience with my new job, struggling with my anxiety and stress.
Keep reading for more information on anxiety treatment and how you can cure your anxiety and panic attacks naturally.
I wish you were here. We could relate so much. I hope you have the support you need.
None of you have to live with this anymore. I used to be a victim of this and I know the frustration, embarrassment and fear that is involved. Please go to my site. You dont need to buy anything, I promise you its already been paid for fuentesevangelism-.-c-o-m-
hey fasting is awesome, and totally effective for losing weight. I used to be a fatass 230lb kid but then i just stopped eating for like a month and dropped down to 175lb… girls started flirting with me more, and all those girls who used to be “just friends” were suddenly all over me. It was pretty tight. And yeah, don’t believe people when they say “looks don’t matter” because, well, looks matter lol… People are shallow fucking assholes and none of us want to admit it
Oh honey….. I want to just hug you right now! I have insomnia as well, anxiety, depression…possibly from a medical cause, but I know how you feel. I’ve only had these problems at this intensity for 5 months and it’s killing me! I feel like people like us need real friends, like a mentor to literally be with us day to day and help us overcome the anxiety. Someone to offer hugs and encouragement, calm us down… help us smile. A hand to hold as we go out into the world… It might help.
Look for a job thats a little more solitary. Being in a fast paced job is ok but I’d look for something that has a little less interaction with other people!
I am the same exact way, I was crying watching it because I hate that other people have to go through the same fear in life. I just want to run away and hide from everybody. Im a caregiver that works with one person at a time and I still get social anxiety.
@OMFGsoBOARD no lol i was just using that as an example. But I don’t really get nervous from walkiing around in wal-mart it’s when im forced to confront people like if i have to go up and pay for something or when i make eye contact.
@AssassinC101 Wow u get nervous right when you enter walmart? I dont get it until someone talks to me LMAO!
@OMFGsoBOARD exactly because you can tell when people feel the way you do. most people say there nervous but on the other hand there going to places like walmart without hesitation it’s like wow i thought you were nervous lol
@assassinc101 totally agree, I’ve had friends that didn’t understand and would tell me about how they felt nervous and were in my shoes. I think they can still feel nervous but they dont loose their ability to think straight like real social anxiety people do.
I can work. I work wirh a few awesome people. It’s when I’m not at work is when I flake out.

Oh that fear of the windows, I know that one. We have lots of old people in my town, so you’d always find one in a window staring at you if you cared to look. ;P Hated that shit. But my SAD isn’t that bad anymore. Suddenly the overwhelming fear I used to feel just didn’t feel so overwhelming anymore, and now it’s just about gone. I did nothing to get out of it. But the thought patterns I’ve developed after 10 years of SAD won’t lose the grip yet, I just don’t feel that afraid anymore.
@whatever5004
I could try not to care, but deep inside I care more about that than anything else. I know the rationality around it, that I shouldn’t think that way, but could I simply stop care, then I and all people with SAD would have stopped caring so damn much about everything a loooooooooong time ago.
@whatever5004
The thought patterns social anxiety create in a person may be very hard to get rid of. The anxiety thoughts comes automatically, and as your adrenaline level rises you also become more paranoid and rational thought gets really difficult. It’s not just about thoughts, it’s the whole body including your brain preparing for a possible dangerous situation, the sub conscious has somehow learned that an normal social situation is somehow dangerous, and it doesn’t care about rationality.
I also wish people would realize that the nervous other people feel is not the same as the nervous that people with anxiety feel it’s on a whole different level.
Wow im in the same situation you are in i got hired at the casino and basically im happy and im really disliking it at the sametime i start friday which im really not liking it at all. Don’t you love it when you try to tell your family and friends about it and they say crap like get over it, a good example is when i was visiting my brother and i try to talk to him about it and he says you know what life is to short to worry about crap like that, boy that pissed me off so bad
its not your fault its a hormone inbalance i tried everything basically was getting ready to live with it and i discovered omega 3-fish oils and dhea it worked for me it might work for you.
i was in axactly the same situation i qiut starbucks i live on my own no family and their kickig me on the street (because i finished school i cant collect welfare- im screwed
they dont know how to encourage being ontime without throwing out skilled employee’s and lowering there production standards. some places do do this and they usually build or make a better product or service. a better more experienced work force is in all of our interest one way or another.. im just ranting but whatever, it’s fun to rant so there!
I can tell right away that part of your job issues arise from the fact that most at least American employers completely ignore the expense of losing skilled employee’s,and it is a fact that employee retention is expensive but this entire country ignores it. to retrain a current employee would cost them less then hiring new in the long run and we all intend to live a long life i once thought anyways. people make mistakes and mostly when they are new. even out of college.
i am going through the EXACT same thing. i just started my new job today and i want SO BADLY to just enjoy it moment to moment without all the fear and pain that comes with anxiety…i almost started crying at the end of your vid cus i can feel every ounce of your pain and i know how much stress you feel and its not fair. and anyone who says “get over yourself” or “just stop worrying” can go to hell. they have 0% understanding of what a person with anxiety disorder goes through, they’re assholes
omg this is exactly my problem now..im 19 and have never had a job in my life! people, especially my bf, don’t understand and will call me lazy and dependent on others. They don’t get how much i am willing to work and am no way lazy at all.
