Hello,
I am not sure which caterogory my anxiety falls into but it is really horrible and I wondered if anyone had experienced similar or had any advice??
In a work situation I am assistant manager in a shop, this includes managing the shop once a week when the Manager is off and to cover holiday and sickness etc.
To cut a long story short, whenever I have to train someone new, meet new members of staff and generally work around people I don't know I become so anxious that I cannot function normally. (lack of concentration, feel panicky, hot flushes etc) but worse than that is the thought of how that person percieves me. I imagine them thinking horrible things about me like I am incompentent, useless, bad at my job, horrible. miserable etc etc and the more these thoughts go round in my head the more my ability to function is affected.
At the end of the day I re-play situations over and over in my head and torment myself about the things that I feel I have done wrong!!
I am also extremely nervous in unfamiliar places.
However when I am around my nearest and dearest I am much more relaxed.
Sorry to ramble on.... I don't want to leave my job....but feel I cannot go on like this.....help!!!!
Thanks
