I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time. I was put on Meds when I was 17 and I was recently taken off of them a few months ago at the age of 22. I'm having severe anxiety when going to work BC we are extremely short. I have never had anxiety going to work I have always been a hard worker but I dread going everyday.. any suggestions?

Hi there, I have struggled in the past at work and being under pressure, It sounds to me that being short staffed is adding extra workload onto you. The thing you have to remember is that you are only human! you can only do so much. If you try rushing at everything because of the pressure your quality of work will suffer! and will just increase your Anxiety eventually this will spiral out of control.

Try and plan your Day with an amount of work that is achievable, In reality I have found you expect you can do more than you actually can! accept this.
Try and break your day down into sections! do one do it thoroughly, tick this off your list, forget it and move on. This way you will stay calm and fosused and hopefully keep your anxiety under control.

I hope this will be of some help to you Cully

Hello mate, I have a good career and a very stressful one, have manage to deal with anxiety and panic attack disorder since I was 15 am 45, I never try to get over it, I just now know how to live and control it to a degree, still controls my life and how I live it but I just get on with life and the symptoms and have accepted this is a illness I have.
That's the way I have got on with it, it seems to work

That's exactly what I do. No one that I worked with never knew I had problems with anxiety til I told them. I put on a good act to get through the day
