I received a redundancy last year and I have been unable to stick with any job since more than a couple of days. The second day I seem to fall into a deep anxiety depression and just cannot continue with the job. I’m having full panic attacks with tingly arms and hot and cold down my arms and I just can’t control it. I just don’t know what’s going on. I chuck it in and feel like an idiot for a while because the job was fine then I go again and the same thing happens no matter how I try. I start a new job Monday and I’m terrified I’ll stuff it up. The feeling that I get is a real roller coaster of trying to keep my emotions on track. One sec I’m excited and think I can do this the next I think maybe I should call them and cancel as there’s no way I can do it. I’ve talked to a counselor who doesn’t understand. She thinks I’m hung up over the redundancy but I’m not it was great. I was at my job a long time so I was comfortable with my anxiety there. I just don’t know please help
It could be the fear of your workers discovering you have anxiety. If they know and compensate for it, it's always reassuring. If not, it could make your anxiety worse. Are you anxious about the job or about fitting in to a new environment?
