Thanks all, your ideas help. I cant remember who originally told me about the breathing exercises to help snap out of a panic attack, but I did those on the bus today going to my T appointment. It did help, regulating my breathing distracted me enough in itself I wasn't having negative thoughts streaming.
I suppose I have felt limited in choices because I don't go through all the possibilities of career. Im not in it for lots of money, all I need is minimum wage to move. So all I need is something I won't get overwhelmed with. Customer service just isn't for me right now it seems - people love bitching at me for things I'm not in control of...its crazy! Once a lady called the store back to complain I packed her ginger root in with the broccoli so it was damp. Said nothing at the time of purchase, though. Weird. Can't handle it! My T suggested child services like day care for young'uns. Something that's fun and doesnt bring on the major stressors. I've thought being a transcriptionist would be cool, my friend does that.
Outside of the depression, i think I become hopeless because the same company will post a ton of job openings in one department and it'll take up a couple pages. And after a while of looking it appears as if there's no variety and I will be confined to a horrible job...like a call center or a waitress. :grumpy:
Luckily my T said she's going to help me with the work thing, and develop a resume. Like training me to see positive traits in myself. I know I have them, it's just my brain is doing the "la la la, i cant hear you," game right now. I'll make sure to break it down next time so I don't have my little stress cup tip over. Thank you all again.
