I understand. are these roles offered by friends or...? not all roles will be the same. Are you getting any treatment?

Meds and psychology. Not working 7 weeks in. Was on meds for years went off cause doing well and same time changed jobs. Had a meltdown now trying to find a job again. I have a place to go as cant be fired but no role and scared to do anything.

Sorry this is a difficult time for u. Changing jobs is stressful enough work panic attacks. U beat them b4. I understand the frustration of waiting for meds to work, I'm having that issue myself. It feels like the panic is never ending. I can give a mental hug. Give yourself a break.

Thanks, sooo tired of crying and people saying y r u crying you r not dying. Omg I wish people could understand I feel so helpless and down on myself.

Yes! I despise that, "crying not dying" sh*!! I get the helplessness too. It's frustrating and it seems endless. Like being anxious or depressed about being anxious or depressed. People who don't experience it dont understand the vicious cycle. When we get down on ourselves, it's almost paralyzing. We seem to have to work harder on a mental basis to accomplish certain things. Give yourself a pat on the back for getting this far. You deserve to reward yourself.

I know exactly what you're going through. I pretty much had a meltdown at my last job and I fear so much that I'm going to ruin my next opportunity before I even get in there!

I'm trying to change jobs as well, and have had so much anxiety over it. It really sux and a lot of people don't understand how hard change can be especially when you are dealing with mental health issues. I wish you luck with finding a new job and I hope I will find a new one too.

I'm having a similar problem to this ! I suck at my current job and the boss is a bully.. I'm sticking it out so that I at least have some money coming in... But looking around I struggle to find things that I think I can do.. I haven't even got as far as an interview yet.. even the thoughts of apply for jobs gives me panic attacks..

Stay strong, and do your best.. that's all anyone can ask for 😊
