Hi,
After reading some posts on here I decided to join as many people seem to experience what I do and was hoping someone could help me.
I have not been diagnosed with having an anxiety disorder, mainly because I have not spoken to my doctor about it who is very old fashioned and I dont know if he would understand.
I have always OCD which ranges from severe to manageable, have occasional panic attacks which used to be a lot worse, so much so I could hardly function in every day life. I worry a lot, sometimes about nothing and get horrible stomach aches when I do which i've been told is IBS.
My main question is that since being made redundant at Christmas from a job that I loved, I have been lucky enough to start 3 jobs, each that I have left on the second or third day. I get so so nervous and feel like I have way too much responsibility even though I have dealt with it before, I need constant reassurance that I am doing well which of course I wont ask for and as a result I feel like I'm doing badly and that my colleagues think i'm stupid.
I have to force myself to not drive home on my lunch break and the next morning I dont want to go back so much that I feel like throwing up. I never used to feel like this and have always happily started new jobs.
I have just had my first day at my new job today and I cannot leave this one as my boyfriend and I are moving out together, does any one have any tips to fight this overwhelming urge to not go back? I got so stressed out today, I felt really hot and sick and like my legs were going to buckle.
I'm scared to go to my doctors incase I am just turned away but I feel like I need something to help me.
If any one could advise me on help with my new job and if they think I do have an anxiety disorder that would be great.
Thanks for reading my long post!
