I am a dept.manager at Lowe's and I really like the job however it can be very stressful at times. Right now its tough because i am doing pre-inventory all night and we are locked in the store and I don't like it one bit.

I used to always work in administration/reception. I found this hard on my anxiety and panic attacks having people coming in all the time and also I've always had a lot of panic driving so I have trouble even getting to work! I haven't worked full time for many years and over the last year did a few little odd jobs. I've mainly studied various subjects to keep me busy, small business management being one of the courses I've done recently. At the moment I am not working and don't think I will be able to face going out to work for quite some time. My partner is encouraging me to start my own business so I can work from home, he also thinks it will give me a lot more confidence so I'm looking into doing something like that at the moment.

I feel the exact same way. I am 19 and I don't know where my life is going. It's very difficult to find a job to accomadate my anxiety. The fact is I NEED a job! I also am having trouble with school and am having trouble staying in my classes. It really sucks. I am working as a teacher at a theater school right now, and am hoping that it works out, but it is only part time and doesn't pay well. If I find anything better to tell you I will. Thanks for letting me vent

I am a assistant superintendent at a golf course. (Been the assistant for 3yrs, but have worked at the course for 7yrs) Or if you have ever seen "caddyshack" I have the same job as Bill Murray! LOL Its really funny, its a fairly high pressure job in the summer as you would imagine. Making sure your crew is doing alright, trying to keep the grass green and disease free dealing with a 30yr old irrigation system, equiptment failers, everything that can get thrown at me does, but I rarely have a problem with anxiety in the summer. Now in the winter, where I only have a crew of two people, grass is not really growing much at all, no worries about irrigation, and I am terrible. Its like this every year, but this winter has been by far the worst for some reason. I think in the summer I am so caught up in maintaining a 220 acre higher end public golf course, that I don't have time to THINK!!

Hi Chris I use to be a Title Officer. It is a high stress job within the Title Insurance Business. I also have GAD/Depression and BAD Anxiety which I belive was brought on by all the stress of my job. I have no ideal what I will be doing after my disability runs out. I am barely making my bills and if I don't start to feel better by the end of December I am going to put my house on the Market so I can pay all my bills and go live with either my Mom or my sister. I think it depends on the severety of your anxiety which can allow you to continue your job or work. Truth is I am very scared of loosing everything even though I know it is just stuff but its my stuff and I worked so hard to get where I am today. I cry a lot and I pray a lot and I ask my doctor if I am going to be able to go back to work.. he says yes but I have yet to feel like I can. I have been off work now for 3 1/2 months and this is the hardest thing. SO BORED SITTING AT HOME ALL DAY !!

I am a merchandiser/vendor. I travel in my state and service K Marts and Targets for different brands. We make sure the new products are cut in, make sure certain sales are running, ect. Sometimes I stock dog food and check for out of date candy. I dont recommend this type of work if you hate to drive. I found my job at Narms.com They list all the companies seeking full or PT vendors. Most will train. It is flexible and pays well.

Oh I also forgot to mention, I am on 10 mg's of paxil a day have been on it for a month now and am starting to feel much better, but I did notice a difference after about 2 weeks. If you find the paxil is not doing anything for your panic or anxiety by a month go back to your doctor maybe you need a different brand.

Hi Chris, I work for myself, I work out of home have a singles events company and online dating site, it is good to work out of my home when I was going through this, but the very high stress level of working for yourself is what brought this all on to begin with so its a catch 22! I also just got a part time job working reception at at local retirement home, its close to my house and I enjoy working with the elderly, then can give you a perspective on whats really important in life...I'm sure you know that. I think that would be a good enviroment for you to work in, they certainly arn't going to judge you...they know all about aches and pains and anxiety. Since you have experience in the retirement industry try reception, its simple just answering phones and typing and stuff, fairly low stress.
