Hi all. I’ve had severe anxiety for as long as I can remember and for the past few years it got to the point where I wasn’t working, just taking online classes, and only leaving the house a few times a week. I’ve finally gotten myself a new full time job, but the past few weeks have been absolutely awful anxiety wise. There’s an intense learning curve in taking on this new position and I think that combined with the anxiety of having to regularly contact/bother a team lead/manager for help has me in an absolute panic every day. I wake up hours before my alarm due to my anxiety, nausea (sometimes to the point of throwing up), diarrhea, heart pounding, and just a general sense of intense fear/dread. It gets less intense after I’ve worked for a few hours usually, but never goes away fully, even after work/weekends. I’ve had to call out sick to work twice already due to the frequent restroom visits and vomiting. I’ve been on 40mg Celexa for depression since 2018, and currently my only anxiety medication is 25mg Vistaril as needed, but I don’t notice a difference besides getting sleepy in my downtime. Has anyone else been in this situation and what has helped you? Any suggestions much much appreciated.
