How do you hide anxiety at work

Anxiety is an issue for me. I have really progressed in the past years - but when it gets the best of me I can be in trouble at the work place. I happen to be very passionate as well...so when anxiety sets in - and I am reacting passionately I'm sure it makes others uneasy.

I received feedback from a family that I have been working with. And it hurt my feelings bigtime. We have a program to help individuals that struggle with learning. This family was told by a doctor some negative things about our program.. I saw
red - I have seen our program work over and over again and we have scientific validation studies and an abundance of testimonials - I have personally seen lives change for the better. This career has been the most important thing I have ever done in my life. I felt attacked unjustly... (but I realize they were not attacking me - I was protecting what I love).. anyway they are going to do the program. I do not repond this way in most cases - but we are all under financial pressure. The father - who has been in sales at one point in my life - told me that it was not good that I was aggressively passionate in overcoming this Drs. insults to our program.

Based on my anxiety about a lot of different things at the time - I know why my brain did that...but I can not expect that person to understand.

So feeling pretty beat up today - not just about this person's comments but it came at a terrible time for me.

On the bright side, you showed them how passionately you care about your company, and that would be seen as a noble thing. But other's opinions, such as the doctor's, don't always mean much. That doctor might have been having a terrible day too, for example.

My job is also related to customer service it is really difficult at work having anxiety and panic attacks, I always try to act normal, you know try to hide it but I guess it can't be kept , cause my co-workers usually notice me and tells me that its really obvious that I'm nervous, panicking and etc. So they think of me as a weak or stupid person and sometimes I also encounter customers who laugh at me. It is painful of course butthere is nothing I can do but to ignore it, I just keep going just thinking having this unseen disorders are not my fault anyway. For me, everyday going to work meeting people with this disorder is a curse, everyday I'm hurting but no one to talk to I'm all by myself with this I guess because its too painful I no longer feel anything.hehehe I just keep laughing smiling like a crazy person. I keep telling myself to be strong but I don't know if I've been but i like to tell you also to be strong enough.

I recently started a new job and am really struggling with my anxiety there. I hate being new and not knowing what I'm doing. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I left a previous job I had for 6 years because this one offered better money and more opportunity, but now I'm really missing the comfort of that job and my old co-workers. This new job makes me almost have panic attacks daily. So I guess I have the same question as the original poster. How do you get through the day at work with anxiety??
