Call center jobs are a real nightmare. I know, I'm inbound customer service for Esurance. I think I take about 100 calls a day. I get yelled at, cussed out, and I can't hang up on anyone.

This creates that fight or flight response that brings on anxiety.

I've recently found that my extreme anxiety may have been from an underlying health condition though. They've got me on a beta blocker now, took my first dose last night.

I woke up at 4:30 a.m. with pretty much no dread. It was impressive.

Do you have a high heart rate all the time? If so, you may actually be suffering from more than just anxiety.

My previous job I didn't feel as much anxiety but I think that's because it involved a lot of moving around which exhausted me physically. My heart rate was always super high and I would wear myself out...

I hope for you it's just a job change that'll help. =) Hang in there.
