Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...

I should probably not act on my attraction to this since we wrok together and I am anxious enough and don't need further complications. What is bothering me now is I am questioning my judgement. I thought this guy was nice. He is quite anxious and he does work hard. However, people who work in his department have said he can get so anxious that he will lose his temper. He has actually made a few people cry. He was spoken to about it and has gotten better I guess. But I wonder if he gets away with it somewhat because he is extremely attractive and it is a femall dominated field- he is also very bright and good at his job. A lot of people say that they think he is a decent guy but struggles so much with anxiety that he ends up lashing out. But if someone's anxiety supercedes their empathy, I have to wonder if they are a decent person. I am anxious and sometimes I get a little short tempered as a result of it but I have never made someone cry or lashed out at someone severely about it. I am hardest on myself. Does it seem like this guy is just not all that nice and the fact that he is good looking, everyone is making excuses for me including myself? Just advice from other people with anxiety and how it had affected them in the work place. Thanks.

It's not uncommon for an anxiety sufferer to be affected by depression, also. I was the type who could be pretty mellow most of the time, but there were down periods where I could lash out, and not be able to help it. Being on an anti-depressant has helped my anxiety to subside, and my moods to be much more predictable.

That's good insight. I don't know if he is on anything but if he is, they need to adjust the dosage.

I get mega angry sometimes, and the anger is so shallow and meaningless that I expect people to understand I don't mean it and all I'm really saying is "aaaah I feel so horrible right now!" but my new boyfriend doesn't really understand, he always tells me off about it.

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...
