Hi,
I could really use some help. I am having so much anxiety over my job. It's an outbound calling work from home job. The job itself is simple, but, as I'm sure you can imagine, I get a lot of unhappy people yelling at me, cursing at me, and just being dicks. This triggers my anxiety so much. I have a panic attack everyday while I work, several times a day. But I need the money. I'm the breadwinner for my family. It's taken me so long just to get to a point where I can work again. I had previously lost a job over anxiety.
I am so afraid of back sliding. I am so afraid of not being able to pay my bills. I don't know what to do. Please help.
What symptoms do you have when having a attack
My chest gets tight. It's hard to breathe. I feel like my mind is caving in. Rational thinking just stops.
One of the many doctors I have seen said to me 'if you had a stone in your shoe causing pain you would stop when you could and remove your stone and your job is no different' this was due to high stress levels and exhaustion in my job which in turn then created panic disorder and health anxiety. I have left the job! Anxiety remains but I'm managing better each day by trying to accept it is a part of me I will have to live with-definitely more better days now!! Hope you can find something to help you too
I know the obvious is to remind you its a jib and dont take any of itmoersonally. But truth is i can only i agine what people say to you as they are annoyed by the calls. You have been given some good advice already. Hoprfully youll find a new from home job or one with very low stress threshold (google that). Maybe if needed speak with your gp/doctor and explain whats is happening. This is not easy at times thats for sure,
