I have had a history of chronic pelvic pain for 5 years . I take Elavil daily 25 mg and a host of other herbal medications to manage it. In March, I had a rough time with my boss who publicly reprimanded me for not being able to do certain tasks. Since then I am having problems in attending that bi weekly meeting. I do it now on the phone. Now the problem seems ot have worsened. Last weekend, an exec management guy from another company invited me for beers. Even though there was no interview/hiring decision, I suffered severe anxiety. In the end, I took a friend along. The conversation went fine. I know this is avoidance behavior but I thought that this will go away. I have never had these issues earlier in childhood or adult life
I am meeting a psychiatrist whom I had been seeing for chronic pain. He seems to be puzzled as well. I just have a thought that I will fall down/ or stammer and by the time my rational brain can react, I am already paralyzed with fear.
I am male 37 yrs old and have to move jobs but need to manage this so that I can go to interviews.Thanks for any inputs. I do meditation / relaxation frequently for chronic pain;
