Anxiety Issues

Hi, I have had anxiety issues all my life. But as I get older it gets worst. I'm now just researching and putting a name to it. I had a phobia for height from childhood. I've always had a job in my comfort zone. Now I have a more stressful job where I have to drive and go to new places. It scares the hell out of me. I have been successful at public speaking and other exceptional activity. But this new job sees me anxious most of the time even though I know that I have the skills to do exceptionally well.

Hi successguru,

I wonder if you've been very fortunate to have a job until now where you've been very comfortable? It sounds like a dream come true and something most people haven't ever had but wish they did.

Well now you finally have this challenge that scares the "xxxx out of you" like it has so many other people but maybe your anxiety disorder has finally ramped up to such a high degree you're simply having this crisis late in life. It's possible. People have anxiety ebb and flow both high and low levels throughout their years, some have it go away completely...like myself. Mine was quite severe for years, yet it's been gone now for 3 years. Almost no sign of it. Maybe that's your next stage with your anxiety if you work with it, who knows?

We can talk about things to do to help with it if you want to. Hugs, Joy, Light, Love, and Peace,....BonnieSue
