Hi I've dealt with long term anxiety and depression .I've messed up a couple jobs in the past because of my inability to control my emotions. A couple months ago I started a really good office job. I've found that my anxiety has been a near constant presence but the last week has been really bad. Last week I had a presentation that went south due to mistakes I made and I almost had a panic attack. Yesterday I was too scared to admit that I didn't know how to solve a problem that we didn't get much done and my superior was not happy. I ended up down a rabbit hole today of thinking that I was screwing everything up, how I screwed up things in the past and just feeling convinced that I'm not capable of anything. Not coincidentally, I've been feeling more dperessed in the past week or so. My therapist seems to think that I'm doing fine, these incidents just being blips, but I can't let go of the fear and anxiety

Does your therapist give you any coping strategies to use when you feel your anxiety ramping up? I've been googling about this today for myself and came across a few articles here:

This has to feel quite burdensome.
 I hope you and your therapist can sort it out in time. You may find additional feedback in the Anxiety and/or Depression Forums.  WC

Do you struggle with perfectionism? Sometimes that's a hinderance with panic type anxiety.
Just saw a book in the therapy office yesterday regarding overcoming self defeating mindsets. I forget the exact title as I was thinking of how it would help a loved one and I was more reflective about the concept and not the book itself. Sometimes a little reading in between sessions is helpful.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
