i'm broke--i want to make money--but my anxiety won't let me

...See more Getting a job has never been an issue with me. In fact, I always walk out of interviews with a smile on my face! But this time, things have changed. I complain about being broke but cannot keep a job. At first, i use to think that maybe i was just the typical lazy twenty year old who doesn't wanna do anything with her life but that's not the case! I wanna work! Lately, i've been getting great jobs but my anxiety has been getting so bad that it makes work physically impossible. I'd work at a fast food and come into contact with a customer and later on have a full on panic attack not because that customer was rude or anything, but because that's just what happens. It's hard to explain. I use to also think it had social anxiety and that I had turned into a introverted maniac or something but I am very much still an extrovert and I love nothing more than meeting new people and try new things daily. I brushed myself off and tried again. I had got a job that didn't require any customer service, but then the panic attacks got worse due to working hard labor and being the only female in the field. Being around men makes me nervous. (i'm a survivor of rape and assualt). I know that i cannot control any of this. It's not like I can go to any other work force and not expect any males to be there. That's just life. Long story short, i quit that job too. The panic attacks and flashbacks always cause me to hyperventilate and then cause myself to tremple and next thing you know i'm on the floor passed the hell out and rushed to the emergency room. Who knew anxiety could be such a pain in the ass! SO NOW im looking for another job. And this time, i have no idea what i'm gonna do or what i'm gonna encounter. All i know is i am in desperate need of money, support and motivation.
