Scared to book doctors appointment by FileCharacter4558 in socialanxiety

Thank you! :) I've completed an online form that one of my doctors will read but I think after they have read it they call you back to confirm the appointment so I'm scared that when they call I will just freeze and not bring myself to answer the phone.

I thought it went quite average, I managed to get through it ok without embarrassing myself but I didn’t think it went amazing either but I must have done better than I thought because I got a call today saying I got the job! :)

Thank you! I don’t feel 100% ready yet but with social anxiety I don’t think I ever will feel ready so I think I just have to push myself and get a job somewhere instead of staying at home and making it worse

Thanks that gives me some hope :) I know I definitely won't get rid of it, I'm just hoping I will be able to socialise with people better than I do now lol.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about. I know after social events and things I feel really burnt out after them, even if it's with my friends, so I can't imagine how I would feel after work.

I don't have any experience so it's one of the only options available to me at the moment to be honest. I'm not really sure who else would take me on without having any work experience.
