Anxiety And Your Profession Posted: 05-19-05 14:43pm
Hi all anxiety sufferers as I am one too,
I was wondering what kinds of professions
you all have. Just state it here in the
forum and dont be afraid what profession
or job you have no matter how big or small
or whether you have one or not. Even
state if you are a student and what job
you have and what you are studying or if
you are just not in school anymore. This
is just out of curiosity. I want to know
the range of people that anxiety affects.
This could be interesting for all.
Thanks. And dont be afraid! :) I have
now been accepted into med school at yale
university! Wow! But I am slowly
overcomming anxiety and feel that I can
really beat it! I believe that you can
too! I know it is hard work and takes a
lot of will power!!! Sometimes I even
wonder whether I am good enough to take on
this career and I get really nervous
feelings just thinking about it...But
really that is my anxiety trying to stop
me from getting ahead in life. There is
nothing to be afraid of and I know I can
do it! And you can too!! Please post...

I would be interested in communicating
with you. I would like to know why you
think you are near a solution for your
attacks.
I have a site about a conflict of
physiology related to the vision startle
reflex.
Designers and engineers discovered the
problem when knowledge workers using the
first production models of close-spaced
office workstations began having mental
breaks. The cubicle became the solution
for the office design problem.
So few people are aware of this that there
is almost no research on it.
Schools and students are unaware of the
need for cubicle level protection when you
place a study area or computer workstation
in a room with repeating detectable
movement.
I think that persistent exposure, which is
far too low to cause a full mental break,
is the source of panic attacks.
One reason is that I once had panic
attacks. I did not understand them back
then. They stopped and I did not know
why.
When I began writing the panic attacks
page for my site I remembered them and
what I did to stop them.
I moved my computer workstation from the
center of a room where it was a room
divider to the corner of the same room.
Visit my site http://visionandpsychosis.Net
then link to the panic attacks page. If
this information helps you I would like to
hear from you.

1) 22
2) female
3) student at local college studying
dental hygiene although many times I am
nervous about whether I can make it
through. The uncertainty about the future
is what makes me nervous and anxious. Is
this what I really want to do? Do I
really like it? And if not, what will I
do?!?!?!?!?!.....So worried...So much
pressure from everyone....In the meantime
I work part time as a telephone service
representative at a call centre. Nothing
big. Just worried about future and my
looks. Thats what gives me high anxiety
in my life! Sometimes I have trouble
getting out of bed and have upset stomachs
in the morning....So worried.....We need
more replies to this topic!... Its
interesting!...Let us know who you
are!...Please take a minute to
post....Lets get to know each other!

I am a 29 yeear old male technology
consultant, my job is pretty stressful as
well as other things going on in my
life... I think non-stop like running an
obstacle race.
I think my anxiety is due to a tramatic
break down I had due to stress.
I started to have heart palpitations 4
months ago, eventually they got so bad I
thought I was dying...
Several heart tests and a few days later I
started getting symptoms of anxiety, weak,
dizzy, feeling out of it, poor
concentration, no strength in my hands,
light sensitivity. I blame all of this on
being scared that I was going to die from
my heart palpitations.
I have been seeing a couselor and am
working on simplifying my life and
relaxing. I was doing really good and
feeling a lot better up until a week ago,
my anxiety is at an all time high in the
fear category and im starting all over
again. I hate anxiety!!!!!!!!!

I am a psychotherapist and before I
started on my career I suffered from
mental illness, depression and anxiety
attacks. I was for many years a drug
addict.
I studied psychology, initially trying to
understand myself, and when I discovered
that mainstream medicine and psychology
really did not know the causes of
depression - plenty of theories but no
cures - I went on my own course of
discovery finding a cure.
It turns out that depression and anxiety
(they are caused by the same underlying
biochemical disorder) is in fact a
nutritional disorder.
Once you understand the biochemistry of
depression, you will discover the non-drug
cure. Drug therapy and/or psychotherapy
are palliative, meaning they attempt to
treat symptoms only but not the underlying
causes of depression.

Hi smithoo7,
anxiety attacks are not influenced by age,
sex, etc.
It can hit anybody who overproduces
adrenaline because of insulin resistance.
It is physical not psychological.

I know it isnt influenced by age and sex.
I just want to know the range of people it
affects. I want to know what professions
people have, to understand how
debilitating anxiety could be on ones
life/career/studies etc.
