anxiety and work life
hello, i am a 22 years old with generalized anxiety disorder. i'm currently looking for a job but to be honest the thought of working terrifies me.. i wonder whether someone with anxiety will be able to secure a job at all? i feel like my anxiety takes over me most of the time and unables me to work. i've googled how to manage this and found some jobs that considered to be fit for someone with anxiety but i am graduated from an economics major and have limited skills (such as design etc) to work independently at home.
i wonder if anyone can share their experience regarding this or have some tips to help me? thank you.
Hello @tobealive
While I do not personally have GAD, I do have a friend with it and she is has been able to get a job. While everyone has different circumstances, I want you to know that it is possible for you to succeed in life :) It also sounds like your anxiety is getting in the way of you being able to work. Have you ever considered seeing a counselor or therapist?
