I have been really anxious lately. I know what it is from. It is from being out of work for almost 2 months.?

when my dad got layed off my mom took it real hard.  there was two of us in college and a third just married.  She became so sad.  My dad was sad.  Then my mom worked a second job.  she enjoyed both jobs and still does the second one part time.\n\nok,  I thought that there would be trouble,  but it made them stronger and closer.  I think that in a way that it was a test to see what would happen..&#92;\n\nI think that in a time of stress it shows a couples inter-twinded life and that draws them closer so that ones problem because the others and they both work to getherer.\n\nIf he is seeing the worse side of you, he is lucky.  He is standing beside you and helping you.  Reach out for his support, next time he will be in need of support.  that is part of being a couple.\n\nWorse things that happen in a life on a stress scale, I looked them up two years ago when my dad had problems.  \n\n1or 2\n loss of job\ndeath of a spouse\n\n3 or 4\nloss of close family\nmoving\n\n5 or 6\na baby\nhospitalization\n\nI hope this helps, you are independant, but that does not mean that a sometime you need alittle support.  Ask him how he feels.  there is so much down sizing in companies that there is no such thing as a loyal life long employee.  You will get a new job, just smile with him and let him help you smile.

I would talk to a doctor about it, it could be related to tension and stress...

Take a small break, and try to focus your mind. Relax and think...things could've been worse. You decide what's on your mind and not the other way round :-)

I can understand where you are coming from. I've had a similar experience. It seems that you are under a lot of stress. That maybe why your anxiety level is so high. Drinking doesn't solve anything it only delays the ultimate result. You still have the problem. It would be nice if you could find a therapist or someone close to talk things out with. Since you are on meds home remedies, such as milk and sugar may not be a good idea. Because they could have a negative affect on your meds.  I am sorry to hear that you lost your man. That can be painful. It could have lead to some of the problems you are having. I would suggest you find someone to talk this all through with. Call your doc and tell him or her the symptoms. Especially the dizzy part and the pain. If your doc does not understand find one that does. You don't have to accept bad behavior from your doctor, office visits are not free. Keep writing here we won't give up on you.

All the advise here is good for you.\n\nYou experience anxiety and crisis because you lost control over your circumstances. You know what you're doing is counter-productive, yet you continue. Loss is a painful experience. The feelings you have are normal. \n\nIf you feel you can't cope, seek councelling.\n\nTry to stay rational and get busy. \n\nFinally, there are so many women that want to get with you that haven't even met you yet. Time heals all wounds.

Well, although your job seemed to be "stressful", it sounds like you enjoyed it. You probably felt very useful; maybe even essential for the smooth functioning of the office. Now, because of your injury, you can't seem to do the same things you used to, so you feel a bit depressed, because you may not feel as though you're playing a useful role.\n\nPerhaps, if your condition allows it, you could have your own business being an "organizer" -- you know, like, organizing people's closets, or their own home-office files, or other things that need organizing, but you won't have to do a lot of physical work that may strain your back / neck. Use your mind! \n\nIronically, some people feel "less stressed", when they're working at something useful and productive, even if it is "fast-paced". Some stress is caused, when we feel life is passing us by....\n\nYou have more emotional strength than you probably realize. You are a thoughtful and caring person -- try to brainstorm, and think about how you might use your talents!

See you doctor.  Maybe you've been under stress or have PTSD (post truamatic stress disorder).

Well I would tell you new workplace that this is not common practice for you. Provide them with references from previous employers of yours that prove you have a had very litle time off in past jobs. Suggest this was a one-off.\n\nPesonally I wouldnt tell them the truth that the job was too stressful for you because it will come accross as though you couldnt handle the job and so it could easily happen again when you work for the new employers. I would tell a white lie and say you experienced personal problems(wife/family?) that led you to suffer from a stress related problem like anxiety etc. The doctors notes you have will back this up as they outline you have suffered from stress.\n\nI know its not great to lie but if I was an employer I wouldn't employ you if I knew you had time off from work due to the stress of the job. And anyway if you know in your heart that you CAN do this job well and it wont happen again it doesn't harm anyone. Jobs allow us to survive in life pay mortgages, our kids shoes etc and so as this lie wont hurt anyone and means you can get your job...theres no real problem.

Yeah you see relief in the future, so your current high stress job seems even more stressful than normal.  Just keep focusing on your future plans knowing how good they are.

We're all placed in stressful situations sometimes that are difficult to cope with. My best advice to you is to look at the positive side of things. The fact that you have a job and an income is a good thing. The fact that you are using a computer to access the Internet is a great privilege (believe me it's a privilege). The fact that you were raised in this great nation is an opportunity. You sound young and you entire life is ahead of you. This is only a chapter in your life. A chapter is bound to end when another begins. Have patience and faith in yourself and in your ability to change your perception of your situation. Thank God for the moments that you have. Remember, this is life, not a dress rehearsal. Make everyday count. And finally, I have personally found that I feel a lot better when I stop focusing on my own problems and try to offer help to someone else. We get so focused on self sometimes that we forget that there are people out there who are in a much worst situation than us. Try to lend a helping hand to someone, and you will see how blessed you will become.

Timely.\n\nI leave my job, and my career of 26 years, on the 15th December.  I no longer love it.\n\nWhy didn't I leave earlier? \nA desire for financial security (I'm still not quite sure what else I'm going to do, and my skills are quite specialised).  A perception that what I was doing was hardly the worst of jobs: well paid, normal hours, socially useful...\nA strong possibility that my problems were due to depressive illness, not my job, and that the main thing was to keep working while addressing my medical condition.\nA fear of being unemployed, and how that would be seen by family and friends...\n\nNow, what would I love doing that I can actually make a living at, seeing as I can't quite retire, yet?\nI'm about to find out.

because you are stressed?

what do you do as a job? i found that i had to change my attitude in a lot of different areas of my life. i don't know exactly what i'd suggest for you since i'm not sure what type of work you do. are you religious at all? that is something i got away from and i found myself sinking deeper and deeper into anger and despair. have you talked to your doctor about it? i have had to stay on an antidepressant. my family has a history of depression. sometimes we just have chemicals in our brains that are out of whack. it is hard to deal with life if your brain isn't working properly. i have made myself always look on the bright side. i dont' know you, but as a starter, you can be happy that you have a roof over your head and at least some type of employment. i honestly know how you feel. please don't consider killing yourself. i don't know how many times i made passive/aggressive attempts to harm myself. i was wreckless and i did not care at all. it's an awful feeling. i really suggest you talk to a doctor. psychological sickness is the same as physical sickness. some people do not understand that. there are methods to heal yourself. please talk to someone. i'll say a prayer for you.
