I just turned in an application, I haven't worked for a year due to my anxiety getting so bad! As soon as I turned it in I started to feel the panic, I don't know what I was thinking!! I dk if I can do this!! My family really needs the money but I've been a total anxious mess since it left my hands!

Wyominganxiety, very very normal to feel that panic. Actually it's not you who got scared but the Anxiety Bully. He is afraid he will lose control over you, and he will. You have nothing to lose by taking that step forward. It may be the best thing for you and if it isn't, you've lost nothing.

Good Luck. Let us know if you get accepted and when you start. You can do it. Don't allow the negative thoughts to take over. xx

I recently got a very part time job. I think some anxiety is common for anyone attempting to get a new job. For me getting out of the house opens my mind and I actually feel better that may not be the case for everyone but I do know that idol mind breeds negativity. Think of it this way the worst thing that can happen is that you won’t be able to handle the job and you can quit sometimes the chances we don’t take are the hardest . I wish you the very best of luck !

Hey there! I can relate, I haven't worked in awhile due to my anxiety and being in inpatient treatment. I'm very nervous about starting a new job.

I keep reminding myself to take it one step at a time, one moment at a time. It helps me to remember I can back out at any time if I get too overwhelmed, even if I already started the job and find that I can't handle it.

I think you should be proud of yourself! At least you turned an application in. That's a big deal since you haven't worked for so long. You're doing something positive for yourself and for your family. Sounds like your anxiety might be improving, even if its just slightly.

Good job for taking a step forward! I wish you the best of luck, sending good vibes your way. Hit me up if you ever want to talk, I'd love to chat.

Hi there, I hope you are well.

I was in your shoes a few months ago. I was out of employment for a year. I desperately needed a job but at the same time I was feeling extremely anxious and depressed. For me, the trigger point was applying for jobs and getting rejected and low confidence in myself.

I started to question my worth and when I did get some interviews I felt too anxious going and ended up cancelling because I thought I wouldn't get the job anyway.

Well a few months ago, I got a job offer for something I didn't imagine I would ever get. I was anxious during my first few weeks getting to grips with a new setting and picking things up but I soon settled in. For me, I think it was a positive move as work distracts you and keeps you busy and gets you out of the house.

Good luck with everything, I hope it all goes well for you! X

You can do this! I was out also for a long time and after filling out aps, I would have a panic attack every time the phone rang thinking it might be an employer calling. It will be uncomfortable at first, but just glide through it and it will be much better for you in the long run

I felt better when I was working. It kept my mind busy.

I'm hoping I can get myself back out there I think the interview of I get one and the first couple weeks will be rough but I think it might boost my self worth
