I have anxiety and am constantly overcome by fear. Fear of failure and shame are the biggies for me. I left an office job which was toxic and awful although it was familiar. 

Now I’m at a manual labor job where it makes me very uncomfortable but I’m hardworking and I do the best I can. The issue is that I don’t fit and it’s going nowhere. I need a job which pays more, has better benefits, and provides for a better quality of life. 

I know my fear of putting myself out there and making another change is holding me back. I want to keep chalking paralyzing affects of my situation up to laziness but that’s not even half of it. I can literally feel my anxiety holding me back every time I want to make a move forward. 

Are there others in this situation and how do you break the chains, put yourself out there, tell your fear to hush and go and get what you feel you truly want in life?
