Anxiety and functioning
Anxiety Support / by intuitiveWater6984

...See more I have been suffering from GAD and social anxiety for over six years and I have such a hard time knowing what's normal anymore. Everyone keeps saying that "everyone has it rough" and "everyone has their ups and downs" but is it really normal to need to distract yourself every second of every day because as soon as you are left alone with your thought you get an anxiety attack? To sleep the weekend away beacuse you are so exhausted from feeling stressed out all week at work? From not being able to ask your sister for something as small as borrowing a pen because I feel like I'm not worth it and would just annoy her? I'm so scared that this is how everyone feels and that it can never get better- I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of breaking down and I just can't anymore. But I'm more convinced that I'm just "bad" at handling normal stuff and that I just "need to get better at it". I'm so sorry for bothering you all with this, I just needed to tell someone. Thanks for reading.

Job hunting and anxiety

...See more Does anyone have any tips on how to manage anxiety while looking for a job? I've recently graduated with a bachelor degree and I'm now looking for a job in my field. If I'm being honest I'm not even sure that I want to work in the field, but then again, I don't realy want to work with anything... The problem is that every time I start looking through ads for jobs I get so anxious that I often can't even send in an application. I feel like I'm not qualified, that I'm bound to fail, and I don't want them to even call me in for an interview. But I need a job! I feel really stuck.... Has anyone been in a similar position? Have some tips?
