I always find if something goes wrong when I'm in work of in my personal life I bame myself and I'll be anxious the whole day and will become very upset. I'm lucky enough not to have had a panic attact but I've come close. No matter how hard I try I just can not stop the anxiety.

Are you on meds for your anxiety?, this certainly helps.
Meditation, vigorous exercise at the gym, self help work books.
Talking to your councillor about what issues in life are bothering you.
Learning methods to help you through anxiety.
None of these things will take anxiety away permanently.
Good Luck!

I'm so sorry you feel this way. It's an exhausting way to live. Trust me, I know. You're definitely not alone in dealing with this.

I'm not on any medication for my anxiety and I go to the gym as much, I can and I find even though I don't like exercise it help's!I'm reading a really good self-help book. I had a really bad day in work yesterday and I felt like I was back to square one!just could not get my anxiety level's dowm. I'm a newly qualified nurse in a busy A&E department but I'm convinced that the other newly qualified nurses are better than me and that makes me more anxious!its such exhausting way to live!

That's goo that you're going to the gym and that is helping, i have SAD so the gym is not an option, unless i was on a bunch of Xanax and than i eat so much i wouldn't even get off the couch to get to the gym, lol

My medication (Paxil) isn't helping me much anyway... :/

*hugs* to you :)

I hope you are feeling a little better today. Your job is so worthwhile and you wouldnt be there if you werent as good as everyone else. In fact you may be better because you will be able to understand and empathise with the worries and upsets of your patients. You are a lot stronger than you think because no way could i ever work in an a & e, im bad enough in a pharmacy. Just remember you are not alone!

I love my job but I find it hard sometimes as even when were not busy I'm always feeling anxious as I think I'm doing something wrong or I haven't done something for my patients. It comes with a lack of confidence but and people always that will come in time but sometimes I just want to cry in the corner

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
