Hi
im new here.
ive always had issues with school and university where if i would miss a day then i would be to scared to go back and then i would end up missing a lot of time
Now its starting with work. since sept i have had 5 jobs and quit them all. I just got a new job and i only started last wednesday and i went those three days but then on monday i freaked out and called in sick then i missed everyday and i just send in an email that told them i will not be coming back. I dont know what to do. Its not that i dont love my job, i work with children so i do love it very much , but this past couple of months i have been a basketcase. Im crying all the time. Im so afraid this is going to come over me and im not going to be able to leave my house.
I have another interview for a better job with better pay and it would be amazing if i got this, but im fearful the same thing will happen. has anyone at all felt like this? I feel like im going crazy. No one understands everyone keeps telling me to suck it up and go to work, but if i could do that i would, but thats the problem I cant. Please somone tell me im not crazy! |

| you are definitely not crazy. See my anxiety works in the opposite way in a way and I almost wish I could just not show up like you but b/c I know it's the anxiety that causes you to do what you do I know are situations are really no different. I'm too afraid to miss a day or quit a job I absolutly hate because I'm afraid my boss/ co-workers will hate me for quiting or no one will ever want to hire me agian b/c i've quit before so i'll suffer through even the worst jobs b/c I'm too afraid to quit |

You are so NOT alone. I have been getting worse in the past ten years(I am 40). I have put on the smile and used my fake charm only to realize three or four days into a job or ANYTHING that I am once again terrified of everything and every one and back home feeling alone and better for the first day or two, relieved in some way. Then back to feeling worse again and sad and worthless I UNDERSTAND! Hang in there. _________________ maybe tomorrow.... |
