Anyone have experience with anxiety around jobs?

Question

How do you conquer this? What is the best type of work to get into? Does it ever go away?

Answer

I have the exact same problem.... I haven't been able to keep a job longer than a week and I hate it. I'm going to try to see if I can get a job at a factory near my place. That way I won't have to deal with customers. Just coworkers (who I probably won't even talk to anyways.)

Answer

I’ve never had anxiety with my jobs. I know that I am an asset everywhere I go, so I do not allow negativity or judgment cloud my days.

Answer

I had to quit a job recently because I was having anxiety attacks before every shift. I would show up 15 minutes early to allow time for my anxiety attack before work. It was hell so I quit after 2 months. But I’ve been working fast food for 2 years and I used to have really bad anxiety about the job but now it’s better. I still get light headed when it gets really busy but I think being at job long enough there a certain level of comfort. It’s just a matter of getting over the hump. Anxiety is never truly gone but I think repetition and structure helps. So I guess go for jobs where you can find that? Maybe that didn’t help but all but I tried.

Answer

I have anxiety at work and I work with customers. I have no fear about talking to the customers most of the time however I have this deep fear that if I get yelled at by the boss I don’t know why I would I know it’s my anxiety however I’m like the type of person who will cry and have a crying panic attack the type when you feel like you can exhale
