I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks?

Question

this often causes me to be late when I have to go somewhere especially work. I am fine until it get close to the time I should leave and start to get uptight and end up in the bathroom due to Irratable Bowel Syndrome. I also have problems with depession and insomnia. My job allows 15 min late but I tend to be a half hour. This is not something I have control over. I have been at my job for almost 20 years and this has not been a problem as I pu in my hours and my clients have been happy with my work. My problem is this now they are coming out with a GPs system and will know everthing and am worried about loosing my job. Is there anything I can do to overcome this or protect my self legally from being let go. In help senoirs and people with dissabilities in their homes. I am woorried as this is not something I can help it's not like I want to be this way. Thanks any help is appreciated. I'm going to see my doctor to see if he will provide me with a letter of proof that I have this problem..

Answer 1

I know how you feel. I've suffered from OCD and depression for years. I also have Fibromyalgia and have had many IBS attacks before going somewhere I am supposed to be. I would talk to your Dr to see if there is a letter they can  write to put in your file. Are you taking any medication? When I used to work I was allowed to be 5 minutes late but was always 10 and 15. I tried and tried but it seemed the more I tried the more nervous I got and it would make me even later. If you need someone to talk to about this just e-mail me. Like I said, I've been there.

One way to ensure your job is to make your self invaluable to your work. Be a tremendous asset to your work. Ask yourself, "how can i bring more value to my work?" "How can i make myself more valuable?"

If you do not have enough money, you could take drugs, like alcohol or crack, to feel better and many do. But that does not cure it. The cure is to make more money. If you are depressed, the cure is not to take a drug, like Prozac. The cure is to be happier. If you have panic or anxiety, which everyone feels at one time or another, the cure is not to take drugs. The cure is to feel more tranquility, calmness and peace of mind. See site below for more on this. Peace be with you.

Kevin Trudeau says in his best selling book, Natural Cures They Do Not Want You to Know About, "All illnesses and diseases are caused by the same things; (1) too many toxins in the body; (2) nutritionally deficiencies; (3) electromagnetic chaos exposure; (4) mental and/or emotional distress." "The most effective way to cure and prevent disease is by getting the toxins out." "One very powerful cleanse is, of course, fasting." "Drugs only suppress symptoms, and they cause disease because they are toxic." In More Natural Cures Revealed, Kevin Trudeau says "The facts are clear, drugs, both prescription and non-prescription, do not make you healthier, they make you sicker. Drug companies are not interested in your health. Drug companies only want you to buy and use more drugs. If you want to cure yourself of any disease you have and remain healthy, you must eliminate all non-prescription and prescription drugs."

Answer 6

I had overwhelming anxiety including gastrointestinal problems. It turned out to be a chemical they put in food called sucralose. And it is in a lot of stuff. From fitness water to tomato sauce.

Sucralose is what Splenda is. Sadly, the package doesn't have to say Splenda or diet to have sucralose in it. You have to read the ingredients.



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
