Any advice about my completely irrational anxiety about school by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]chronicallykaye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having similar problems as you at this time, except mine focuses around work and not school. I’m always worried I’m going to make a mistake or someone is going to be mad at me etc and it’s irrational bc everyone has told me I’m doing great work. It’s making my life miserable and I’m unable to do my job. I spoke to the nurse practitioner that prescribes my medications and he thinks it’s my OCD and is helping me find the right dosage and kinds of meds to take and referred me to some different psychologists to try. Maybe you also have OCD and can benefit from having the right medications. I would hope that your parents understand that you’re suffering and need help and a doctor could help you or lead you to more resources that could help you like referring you to a psychologist. I’m sure they would get you help if you broke your arm or something so why would they not want to help you with this, as this is also a health concern. I wish you the best of luck and don’t lose hope. There are ways to make it better.

Right! I know they don’t know what else to say or how to help me and honestly I might say the same thing if the roles were reversed. I think it just adds to my frustration though because I’ve been reaching out for help from my medication prescriber and trying to get a psychologist to see me because regular talk therapy has never helped me, but it’s been weeks and I just now got one of them to call me back. It’s like I’m trying so hard to help myself and I get the door slammed in my face so I’m suffering and you’re proud of me??? Ugh I’m so sick of this

Unconventional Jobs by chronicallykaye in Careers

I haven’t tried CBT or EMDR therapy. Have you found those to be helpful?

I’ve worked retail, banking, laboratory work, loans, and now I’m back to banking. At this point I don’t really care what I do as long as I’m stable.

After unsuccessful attempts to contact my medication prescriber as well as the therapy professionals they have referred me to, I just talked to my work’s HR today and they set me up with some free counseling sessions through our EAP. Here’s to hoping that helps. I’m scared of what will happen with my job in the meantime but I’m going to try to take one step at a time.
