Anxiety attack at work?!

Question

I recently had an anxiety attack at work.. I got really sweaty, started shaking.. dizzy, faint, etc. For some reason I just get super nervous there.. it's really bad. (this is a job in retail too! The people I work with make me feel so nervous) I have work in a little over an hour and I'm starting to get really nervous to the point where I might throw up. I don't know what to do.. should I quit? It's only a part time job.. but if I quit my parents will be so mad at me .. I feel stuck and it's only making things worse.. my anxiety has never been so high :( what should I do?

Answer 1

I used to feel the same way. Please take this into consideration. It worked for me, although I am not you.

I had overwhelming anxiety. It turned out to be my use of Splenda. Yup Splenda. How could something that taste so good, be so bad?



I like to say sucralose, not Splenda, because that is what Splenda is. And it is in a lot of stuff. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read labels. So, you might be using it and don't even know it!



Sucralose is poison. It ruined five years of my life. I had a laundry list of medical problems while taking it, including overwhelming anxiety, depression, mood swings, insomnia, gastrointestinal issues and more.

Go ahead, google: anxiety splenda or anxiety sucralose or insomnia splenda or insomnia sucralose



The slogan, "Made from sugar..." is very misleading. Splenda might be made from sugar, but it is far from sugar. The resulting chemical is an organochloride (chlorocarbon). Organochlorides are typically poisons.



carbon monoxide - made from oxygen so its like a breath of fresh air

Answer 2

I feel sorry for your situation. If no working, we could have done so many other interesting. Like playing soccer, in my case. But back to the reality, I would suggest you need to calm yourself down. Gather yourself together. I know it's a lot pressure, no matter where you work. You just need time to get used to it. AND! Find a hobby outside of work. You see, you spend 8hours at work for doing things you don't like...sometimes! It's just money making thing, u know.

I hope you get better by time.

Answer 4

Talk to a doctor or psychiatrist. Talk about possibly getting you on some antidepressants or antianxiety pills. Such as Lexapro.

As for the attacks remember to always stay calm. And breathe.

Hope this helps!
