Faking it..

Hi; while I struggle with anxiety and depression, I have always tried to be active and to work.

I am supposed to give a presentation at work next week and looking for tips to handle the anxiety I will feel; I just want to do it and not have people realize that I suffer with anxiety., is that even possible?

Yes, its really possibly, I experience that too on my last activity in America, I have anxiety at the time of my presentation , there is part of my presentation that I'm about to collapse but I've just focused on my report and nothing happened, Its just a psychological fight with your self, no one will help us only our own self that is the key, you are not alone we are many so do not afraid....I have a tips before that presentation be more effective....Wake up early morning do 15 minutes jogging (every morning) it will help you to reduce your Anxiety..God Blessed You...

The first step is the hardest / I almost wanted to go home on my first day back. It does get easier day by day..how long have you been out?

A week and with so much to do this week coming i am debating if i should go back or wait another week. My job is secured so i dont have to worry about that just have to get out there. The hardest parts is in the morning with the depression and then going out i even get paniced if i go shopping its a shame. Also i am on my 3rd day of lexapro so i want to give this medication some time to kick in. Part of this could be alchohal withdraw as well since my father passed i couldnt go 2 or 3 days without drinking a whole jug of wine

Sounds like you could use some more time out of work - but don't wait too long--as it can be harder to get back to a regular routine.
