Don't feel alone. This site is very good at letting you know there are many of us out here that have been struggling with anxiety/panic for years and years.
This is unfortunate, but, true. I know about working with anxiety and panic. I know how it feels to get out of control at work and have to run out of the office and get air or run in the bathroom, etc, so know one with find out. And, then, if you let it be known to management that you have an anxiety disorder, they seem to 'act' like they understand, but, eventually the job will end. I work at home now. Seems fine. But, the anxiety really pushed me to work at home so I can manage my life a bit better.
No fun, but, I keep trying - I wonder if I, or any of us, can ever beat it. I think I can only try and manage it better and better. And, not to fear it so much. I know I am not going to die from one - and I have had some really bad ones - so, what is the fear?
The fear is being out of control and feeling like you are losing your mind - that is enough for any one to panic over. Try and read about panic disorders- it is very interesting.
Bye for now,
Maria
