Hi All,
As some you already know, I am a writer. However, sometimes two jobs are required. So, I also hold a cosmetology license and am going to go work within two weeks at a new salon. I was hired on the spot, my credentials are great - but, of course, no one knows about my panic attacks. I have been working from home for about two years and before that was a staff writer for a large real estate firm and could come to work at my pace - no real pressure.
I really need to prepare myself for working "on the outside" - I fear my agoraphobia will get the way not to mention my panic attacks.
Now, my first thought is to ask my Dr. for an increased amount of medication to handle this situation - he may or may not agree.
I so wish things could be different - I am going to deal with this myself, I am a single person, I have no choice. I would appreciate if anyone out there could give me some hints, maybe some self talk dialoges that may help me. I am pretty strong - but this fear still lingers.
Maria
