Hello,
My name is Leah, I suffer with anxiety, it started in my 2nd year of university which was 5 years ago since then I have gone from bad to worse. The pressure of finding work once I graduated was a big factor, the thought of my future had me on edge so I decided to stay at home for a year and then get back to job hunting, unfortunately that wasn’t the case and my situation just got more difficult, finding work had been a task at first I was applying with ease receiving replies with interviews however I didn’t secure a job and was turned down from most interviews or I felt the jobs were not right for me.
As the years have gone on i became a recluse the rejection got the better of me so stopped applying for jobs for some time as a result of my impending anxiety. I am currently trying to get my life back on track but my social anxiety is getting in the way of that... I used to be comfortable enough to hold a conversation but I find it so challenging now..
