Hi all. I have severe work anxiety. A few years ago I started excessively calling in to work due to anxiety which resulted in me being fired. I did well in college and at my caregiving job where I got to mostly set my own hours.

Now I have a new temp government job (hopefully a stepping stone to the job I want) and it makes me want to die every day. The job isn't hard and I telecommute, but the anxiety is still there. I'm currently being treated with benzos (and two other meds for bipolar) and am working with a therapist. I just wanted to see if anyone else could relate or if anyone had tips.

Thank you
