hi! i’m lexi and i struggle with really bad anxiety. i work as a hostess/busser and i get really overwhelmed at work a lot. the other night i had a panic attack and since then i’ve been so scared of having another one and have been so anxious everytime i go in. the waitresses are so nice to me but my boss (who’s the main cook) can be mean and rude to us and that really stresses me out as if i’m not already super anxious. i need help dealing with and managing my anxiety before it gets even worse than it is

Hi Lexi, I really hope it gets better for you. I work retail, so I’m face - face with customers daily as well, and sometimes it gets super busy, and extremely overwhelming. I feel like I have sensory overload almost, because I can’t handle the pressure I’m under, so I get horrible anxiety from work as well. I have anxiety in general, so it’s been harder to manage lately, but I’m trying my best to hang on. I hope you can as well, I just always have to stop, take a deep breath, and exhale through my nose while trying to think of a positive thought, sometimes it’s stops the panicky feeling during that moment, so maybe it can help you as well! I’m here if you need anything!

thank you so much!! and yes i completely get the overwhelming feeling when a ton of people come in at once. i have social anxiety and panic disorder so it’s challenging working at a restaurant but it’s also been good for me since my coworkers are the sweetest and always help me out. it can although get very overwhelming. i do although hope things get better for you as well!! <3

I would speak to a counselor. Sometimes they have meds that help with anxiety.

i’m in the process of finding a counselor that specializes in anxiety. i go to a mental health facility now but they absolutely suck. my therapist that i go to now never listens to me and last time i told her about the anxiety i get at work she told me to “drink water.” after that i had enough and am now looking for a new place to go
