Social Anxiety at work

[Oran]

I have been dealing with social anxiety my whole teenage years , iam 19 now and i see a shrink who gives me fluvoxamine and seroquel but the medication does not help. It is a struggle everyday for me to go to work because i always think the worst is going to happen even though i have a easy job (wheelchair agent in airport) its still hard for me to over come my anxiety. I wish i didnt have to go to work but i need the money . Sometimes the anxiety is so much that i have to go to the bathroom to throw up sometimes . Is anyone dealing with the same anxiety and do you have any suggestions how i can over come my anxiety at work .

Hang in there! Don't quit or skip work because of anxiety or it could make it Much worse. I would go back to your shrink, he/she may change your meds.

The worst thing you can do with this is skip or quit work as this will only strengthen the anxiety, so it's great that you have a job! (this is the basis to your recovery) All i can suggest is simply keep going to work, go out as much as you can and the anxiety will naturally decrease.... I would also suggest that you look into CBT... :) good luck!
