I feel like I just can't deal with my anxiety...it's like it controls me. I worry for everything, obsess over stuff that probably isn't worth obsessing over, etc. I feel like this all the freakin' time, especially if I feel someone else might get angry with me. I feel this especially with work. Here's an example: tonight I was doing a part of my job that I love. Something got miscommunicated from another dept to me. I can only go by what I am told. I get a call late tonight, questioning me about a decision I made today. I explained my reasoning, but they had already called the director to change the "mistake" I made. I don't think I did anything wrong - I was going off info I was given and my experience in this particular situation (I deal with this situation a lot). Yet, I feel anxious, questioning myself, guilty that maybe I didn't do a good enough job, fearful I might get in trouble anyway. I literally feel nauseous, shaky, and tense.
I feel horrible. This is how I feel when I might be misunderstood. My anxiety seems to be worsening. It seems like I feel like this way more and more often. I'm on antidepressant and anti-anxiety meds. I just can't handle this anymore!! I try to remember to breathe and change my thoughts (trying to base facts in thoughts instead of emotions). I feel like just giving up and just wanting to stay in bed. I'm not a quitter but this happening way too often it seems like.
Advice, suggestions...? Thanks for your help.
