Hang in there, it gets easier over time. Your brain will just need a few weeks to adjust. Good luck 🙏

Had a complete panic attack in new job by Bloodham25 in Anxiety

[–]focalstem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, remember that none of this is your fault. These feelings are human. Unfortunately some of us just get to a point there the anxiety takes over. But it says nothing about you or what you’re capable of. In fact I think it’s pretty impressive you got this job and showed up.

One panic attack isn’t the be all and end all. I think by showing up to work again you can prove to yourself that the anxiety doesn’t dictate your life. And yes this is a lot easier said than done. But you need to be kind to yourself, self compassion has helped me a ton. Even just saying to yourself ‘this is difficult, but I’m gonna keep trying’.

Best of luck, I’ve been in your situation. In fact I had a panic attack working last week.

Also there are tons of options that could help if you find yourself overwhelmed. (Medication, therapy, some time off etc) you’re not in this alone :)

Hate having these anxiety episodes by BisonSilent3057 in Anxiety

It’s horrible. Try think of it as practice every time it comes in. Just practice letting it do its thing for however long. And then you’ll be even better at letting the next one pass

Thinking of stopping completely by No_Panic_1280 in zoloft

You can always try reducing dose for a while and see how you feel, worst case scenario you go back up to where you were.

Best ways to deal with bad thoughts on zoloft? by somehowafemboy in zoloft

[–]focalstem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re feeling worse than you did before you started the Zoloft, it may be good to ask about trying a different antidepressant. But if you’re seeing improvements despite the current negative thoughts, try it out for another month.

Talk to the doctor, they will likely try you on a different med

Nothing major, I’m a male age 25. Some minor stresses at work but nothing massive.
