Okay, so my boyfriend and I are going to be on our own soon and he's the only one that has a job, and it's minimum wage, too.
I have crippling anxiety (general and social); having at least one anxiety attack a day.
Because of my anxiety, I can't get behind the wheel of a car without breaking down. I can't ask people for help at stores, let alone inquire about job offerings. I have to gather up the courage to go downstairs to eat just because I can't handle the thought of interacting with his family on my own. I have attacks when I just think about an interview with a potential employer.
I don't know how I could possibly hold down a job in the state that I'm in. How can I overcome this? I need some sort of coping mechanism. Anything.
(Don't say get therapy or go on medication, I can't afford it and I doubt I'll be able to for a long time.)
