To be completely clear- it’s not my job that’s causing my anxiety in the slightest. Infact, I love my job. 

The issue is, my anxiety has been getting worse and worse. Obviously it intensifies when I’m around others because I put my all into covering it up. My symptoms manifest pretty much 100% psychosomatically which basically means it makes me feel *very* physically ill. Nausea, chest pain, headaches, the whole deal 

I work with very young children, so I’m expected to be a bubbly and energetic person. But when my anxiety is bad I’m struggling to breathe. Let alone get a sentence out. By the end of the day I am beyond exhausted- not from my actual job, but from the strain that masking causes. 

I need money for college. I can’t keep working like this. The meds I’m on are not helping and I’ve had no luck with therapy. I really just have no clue what to do.
