ok, This is my 4th day of work, and it seems like every time before hand I freak out. Alot, I feel sick, my stomach hurts and my heart rate jumps. I have trouble breatheing, light headedness. I feel Afraid. big time. I don't understand fully, I won't be alone , even if I 'get in trouble' it's not really in trouble, more of 'oops'. No one is mean.
Does any one know of how to stop this, I'm shaking right now and want to throw up and cry. It's more scary right now like an hour before hand then when I am there. But this feeling is basicly ruining my day because I go to work at 4pm and the morning I have thing anxiety untill I go.
I've been trying to do breathing excersizes I've been learning from some buhddist books and to distract myself with some music and art I like, but I'm still freaking out physically.
Thank you anyone who decides to help.

Just cool down for a while. Have a 5 minute break every now and then as you seem a bit overworked.

What is happening to you is not all that uncommon, and just admitting that you are having difficultly with a particular situation is a good place to start. If you have a history of social anxiety than you likely need to do more than breathing exercises. You may need to find good counsel and possibly a support group. If this problem is new to you then breathing, some constructive thinking and prayer could really help. I hope some of the advice on the link below will help. Good luck

You should calm down take a few deep breathes........ I think you should ask a doctor about this because it isn't normal..... I get anxiety before school sometimes but thats because I am nervous about a test but u shouldn't be going through thats for no reason

Biofeedback, stop and think of something pleasureable or a scene in your mind. Concentrate on that instead of thinking about going to work.
You are on the right track with the breathing excercises.

my best friend used to suffer from anxiety attacks and she like you hated the physical and mental affects. she learned that to escape the things she feared she would concentrate on something else anything!!!! as long as its something u enjoy ! and your breathing excersises are very important aswell as this will help stop the physical affects!! but if you are struggling with this job so much i would reconsider why you took it in the first place maybe then you can help stop your anxiety!! hope that helps x x
