Hello,
I am having difficulties with a new job and managing symptoms. I recently started at a call center. Some of the callers can get kind of nasty very quickly. 2 in particular really triggered me yesterday. I can be kind of quiet sometimes, and shy, and a couple callers have no patience for it. When a few do yell it triggered anxiety really bad, and I haven't been able to completely shake the anxiety all day. On top of that I got a little off on my med schedule, and today has just been completely overwhelming. I really really want to quit the job, but I have a new baby on the way, and I don't know where I could go from there.
It's also not the first time being quiet and shy has gotten in my way at work. Sometimes I'm quiet because I depersonalize. Employers in the past have thought I was miserable and uninterested, which was not the case. I was doing well at one job, but it was on call, and I would be sent home for weeks at a time, and couldn't afford it any more.
Getting a bit off topic. Main point of the thread is I'm incredibly anxious about doing my job, and have an incredible urge to quit, but my wife is pregnant.
