Health - 30 September 2007

Ten years ago I gave up work and had a family, the time has now come for me to return to some kind of work, but it terrifies me.Obviously partly as i have been at home too long but also as when I worked before I suffered from severe panic attacks brought on by being in a stressful job.I worry that they will return,it took me years to get over them.I dread doing an office job or working in a shop as I think I will get stressed.Can anyone suggest a job to suit, or help in any way?My hubby is fed up and wants me to contribute to the household income.

I start my new job tomorrow morning (Monday) and I am extremely anxcious today, so much so that I have taken more of my medication that I am allowed. I really do not think I am capable of working/meeting new people.

I am a diagnosed OCD and Agoraphobic sufferer.

My question is how do you people cope with these disorders on a day to day basis at work. This is my first professional full time job after I have left University.

My main fears about tomorrow are:

- meeting new people
- embarrassing myself if a difficult situation occured
- people judging/looking at me
- fear of experiencing a panic attack in the office infront of everybody (they can be brought on by just talking to someone)

My doctor says that I should work and keep my mind busy. But when I have all these thoughts rushing through my head it is extremely difficult to concentrate on anything else.

I don't think I'll last a day in this job to be honest.

I have been suffering from anxiety and depression, have already had a leave of absence from work, and 3 months later I'm coping just as poorly, if not worse, than before my leave. I work with very negative people and not a very supportive team. I can't take it any longer, but am too exhausted at the end of my work day to look for something new. I don't have much savings, but I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. Would it be completely irresponsible to give 2 weeks notice without something else lined up?

I have cramps, back aches, nausea, constipation/diarrhea, weakness, no appetite..I have to lie in bed or stay pretty inactive for the first 1.5 days of my period. I use 2 heating pads, and take Bayer Aspirin. I have tried Pamprin, Midol, and raspberry leaf tea to no effect. Could I have dysmennhorea and what would the doctor prescribe?

ok so heres the deal im almost 17 and i am uncircumsized. i hate my parents for it. i wish i was circumsized. my foreskin was always really tight and i couldnt pull it back but recently i did manage to get it pulled back but its still pretty tight. its fine until i become erect in which case it hurts. Also the head is extremely sensitive and sometimes hurts when touched or rubbed against. I really would prefer to just get circumsized but im unsure of the cost and whether or not there could be bad side effects for getting it done later in life. if someone could please provide me details of this and/or advice it would be great. Im very self conscious of being uncircumsized and this condition i seem to have only adds to it.

The pharmacist usually tells me that they have to run it through the insurance before they can tell me a price. Some pharmacicies will match another pharmacy.... is there an easier way to find out without all the foot work.
