I went to work for the first time in a long time, but my anxiety disorder is ever so persistent... and it is getting worse... it interferes with work. I even ran into the bathroom at work and cried about it. I don't think I can function at work if I am like this. I don't know if I really should be working in this condition. I don't really know anything. All I know is the pain in my body, my racing thoughts, and my anxiety are getting in the way of me living a life. And furthermore, family is
NOT helping... but i need help, i need treatment, i don't know what to do... I told family I needed help, but they just keep saying "snap out of it." Or "You're not that bad." I wish they'sd switch places with me for just five minutes and then tell me this stuff! I deal with it all day long. I'm so p.o.'d right now. Not geting help, not getting support. Trying to work just so that I might have the chance to get over this on my own, which may or may not be possible. TRUST ME I"D HAVE SNAPPED OUT OF THIS MISERY A LONG TIME AGO if it were that simple. I'm crying out for help but no one is listening. I can't keep walking a dead end forever... Just putting up with it, and dealing with it, isn't working. My mother said I needed to just deal with it. But how is that going to help? My mom thinks I can just go back to living like I was before, without getting help. My mother isn't much of a help, and I don't know how to help myself. I don't really want to check into a mental hospital... there has got be some other way. Besides I don;t even know if my parents would drive me there. If I can't function at a job like I used to, what good am I to my employer? Should I inform my employer that I have a severe mental disorder or what? I'm afraid and scared to work. I wring my hands alot and am very nervous. Why did this have to happen to me? What is going wrong with me? Why won't people take me seriously?
