So I have panic disorder, PTSD, and anxiety...I'm about to start a new job but I'm afraid my anxiety is going to get in the way. I've had full blown panic attacks and had to leave work at my last job. I would be in the bathroom puking and ready about to faint. The job before that I was a pharmacy tech, it was fast pace and making mistakes can only be slim to none in a pharmacy. If I made one mistake I would go into deep depression and obsess about making that mistake. It's distracting.

I truly do share your pain. I have the same anxiety about work. I am so afraid that stay up all night worrying that they will fire me over a mistake. i shake and also go to the bathroom and hyperventilate from fear.
I try to tell myself what is the worse that can happen? I made a mistake and if they do write me up I will live. I try praying and relaxation techniques. Good luck on the new job.

Loneliness closes all around and a heavy mist disturbs my thoughts to make me happier; to no longer to bare innocent guilt and shame of a life that talks too loud to be quite.
Yet, there remains a special song to sing into the void that would have alluded me but just enough to keep away the purple dark; a song written by God that lingers and is keeper of a love that grows to hide my discontent.
This song, a lonely hunter of contentment, swells in my heart with every missed beat. My song welcomes each breath I take in the mornings and on into the night. The melody it makes is a drum rolls heard only in my hearing but too quite to fully understand.

There seems to be a whole lot of religious stuff cropping up on these posts. Each to their OWN!
Do you take medication currently?
I can sympathise re the job situation totally I worked in a very confrontational environment and had panics and elevated heart rates a whole lot of time. It caused me considerable issues as I could not really take any meds. If your in a position to speak with you doctor I suggest that's the thing to do first. If you can take appropriate meds at work then you should consider it.
Also possible a support network where ever you are. I don't know if you in the U.S. or UK but there are councillors everywhere who maybe able to help. Also I found that a work based support/ friend network was helpful and encouraging to remain within the work place.

I'm in a new job also and the fear the first few weeks were exactly how you describe them.
Do the people know you have them? These days anxiety attacks are talked about without judgement.
Good luck in your new job
