A better job
Ive been off work for the past 7 months. My doctor says I need to go back to work now. I work for a call center. I hate my job. What is the best kind of work or job for some one like us. some one who has panic at work. I almost want to work from home now. maybe get a new job with my own office so I can panic alone not with 200 people in the call center with me. What do you think?
Hi Snug,
Are you doing the anxiety program? If not, I hope you can start because it will help. You can take my opinion for what it is worth but I don't think working from home is the answer. My fear is that it would get too comofortable to just stay at home and you could start avoiding going out. You certainly don't want agoraphobia on top of the anxiety. Also, I find support in being with people at work who know about my disorder and are here to help and support me. With the anxiety program you learn how to cope with the panic and change your thoughts and behaviors. I wish you much peace of mind and calmness of spirit. Let us know how you are doing. People are always willing to listen and help here.
