Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety Support Group
Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder, often precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape. As a result, sufferers of agoraphobia may avoid public and/or unfamiliar places. In severe cases, the sufferer may become confined to their home, experiencing difficulty traveling from this "safe place."
I still feel better than i have in along time, The thing that gets me down a little is I can't seem to find a job. My last real job, I phoned in and quit without notice over a year ago because my social anxiety was overwelming. It was a good job. Paid very well. I have found employment since, but never stayed long. Now that I think I am ready I can't seem to find anything. This economy does not help, i suppose. I am worried that the year plus gap in my resume is hurting my prospects. At interviews I just say I left for health reasons that are behind me now. I think it is a reasonable explanation.
I suggest if you go back to work be realistic. You do have to consider your resume and reputation so be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Better to take a sabbatical or work a job that less demanding for a while than to continually quit jobs and burn bridges.
