I moved to a new state in December- so no health insurance here or ability to go to a doc to get medication----
Just recently found a part-time job - Started it this week which got me out of the house but now I am having extreme anxiety going over everything that can go wrong on each case that I am involved with--- Fear that I can't do anything right and am going to feel rejected. I am very tearful and on edge right now. I am off work for the evening but am already dreading tomorrow and finding it hard to think positively. I keep thinking that I am going to get reprimanded or yelled at by a co-worker or by one of the homes that I go into-- Any recommendations I am taking seriously to heart and associating them with failure and being worthless- I really want to be strong and overcome this and keep the job for awhile to prove that I can do it but it is hard to distract myself from these thoughts- and just relax. Anxiety-depression-anxiety-depression- what a vicious cycle

Hello! Congrats on the job! I'm sorry it's causing you anxiety, though. Have you tried some non-medical things to help with anxiety, such as a nice warm bath, soothing music, meditating on positive things, making lists of good things in your life, etc.? Can you find a movie, TV show, or book that's engaging enough to get your mind off the negative thoughts?
 I hope something here might help. Do you like to play games? You might try some. Join some social groups.

Hi. I empathize with your plight to battle anxiety and depression. There are many methods to combat them that are not medical such as above. Guided imagery and progressive relaxation can help too. The internet has a wealth of resources to aid you. Also, there are some sites with free, self-help cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression. One site my doctor recommended to me was anxietybc.com. Psych Central of course has the forums and social groups which can be of great support to you also. This is what I have to add anyway. All the best to you on your journey and in your new job, and take good care.
