In reply to work related anxiety, posted by c on December 30, 2000, at 10:01:00
So you are absolutely sure your anxiety is totally worked related? If you have an anxiety disorder, work could just be the trigger that brought the symptoms on. I have seen a specialist in panic disorder who feels AD's just worsens anxiety, he prefers CBT first and if that doesn't work xanax for instant relief and therapy as an adjunct. If you absolutely cannot quit your job, have your shrink write a letter requesting accomodations for your illness- shorter work hours, if it's certain people that affect you, maybe a different office or area, that type of thing. My last job triggered full blown panic attacks, agoraphobia, and depression. I landed up on disability, but I had a pre-existing mood and panic disorder. I wish you all the best- Judy
