Hello. I'm new. I have depression and an anxiety problem. I can converse like this, I do okay face-to-face (only if it's one-on-one), and with people I know. But I have a real hard time calling places like when I need to make an appointment or order food. I can't work, because the only jobs that would hire me involve telemarketing (lots of phone calls...) or fast food (too many people). Whenever I think about trying to get a job, I think about the jobs I can do and I get so scared and nervous. Sometimes I even shake. Even ordering a pizza sets me off.

Some days I can do it. Some days I can at least order a pizza. Others, I actually have to fight with my husband to get him to do it. He seems to think that if I am forced to do it, I will get over it. He just doesn't get what happens to me. Is there anyway to get through the attack and do what needs done? Is there anyway for me to handle getting a job? I had to quit my therapy sessions because we can't afford them. I don't know what to do now.
