I'm just curious who here works and what do you do and how does your anxiety affect your job. I am a resident assistant at assisted living and I get very minor anxiety with work. Home is another story.  I only work 3 days a week and that is all I can handle. I am also on disability

Hi kisses2016,
No I don't work. You can say I have been retired since I was 26. That's when I had my son. And now he is 31 years old. I'm a stay at home house wife that takes care of all the stuff that needs to be done. It's just me and my husband and our dog.❤️

It is very nice to be able to be home for so long. My son is married. And he works with my husband close by. It's nice you work 3 days. And it's not stressful. I know you have a 4 legged baby too. I love animals especially when their puppies. Our dog is 5 years old. And full of energy. She keeps me going. Lol. Enjoy your night. Xoxo

Thanks momma. My pup is 1 1/2 And my parents have two who are about 3. Plus we have two cats so we keep busy! I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Animals are therapy for me. I’d spend more times in bed if I didn’t have my animals to care for. They keep me busy and active. I e started walking my boy at night after work and so they keep me active too!

Hello my anxiety affects my job because some days I have panic attacks while I’m there so it’s very hard for me to focus on whatever it is I’m doing, and I usually end up crying for no reason which is not fun. Oh and my husband and I own a aquarium retail/maintenance shop best way to put it if you’ve ever seen the show tanked that’s what we do

I’ve been retired since January. I was a deputy emergency manager and contract administrator for a government office. I am a volunteer for one of our local Sheriff’s office. I provide radio communications between the sheriffs office and other law enforcement, fire and military organizations. I also work at the emergency operation centers, in the field, at events, crime scenes and search and rescue. I haven’t done much since COVID hit, but am working on some custom radio programming templates right now.

I used to work as Office Clerk. Last job was 20 years in USDA. My anxiety and
shyness affected my job many times. I hated meetings. They were stressful,
interacting with co workers was uncomfortable at times. I would have loved
to stay home. I was married at 32 but I couldn't afford to stop working.

I had to stop working for now (on unpaid STD) and not sure I can go back. My job is super stressful and I was new to the company when this all started. So now we are a no income household since my husband's business is still closed.... I want to work but the anxiety is too acute still. I can't concentrate or talk well most of the day.

Oh dear! I had to quit my job as an in home caregiver because my anxiety was getting so bad. My new job is so much better though.
