Anxiety and Panic Attacks

I’ve had my current job four years in December and I’m having a little bit of trouble. There’s a bunch of office politics; we have a new secretary and she’s coming up to me all the time and whispering to me that she doesn’t like half the current staff.

That got old to me quickly and I e-mailed the staff whom she doesn’t like on blind copy and told her she better get with the program at our firm because calling half the firm names will boot her out really quick. Anyway, one of the girls forwarded it to HR and I’m anxious about what’s going to happen with that. I’m anxious about the economy helping us lose clients and if we do that we won’t need the attorneys and naturally we won’t need the secretaries. Every day I go in I expect that.

If you can concentrate on your job (I know that’s hard and it is for me), do the best job you can do and the hell with people who consider you rude. Work is not a popularity contest and besides, you won’t get yourself tied in office politics and gossip.

Overcoming Panic Attacks
———————————————————————————–

I am just wondering if anyone here has had problems maintaining steady employment. I am beginning tto think that my panic and anxiety and me being diagnosed with post traumatic stress is interfering with me holding on to a job. I’ts been like that with almost every job I ever held. Poeple think that I am rude because I don’t smile a whole lot. I do not know what to do anymore. I am in desperate need of a new job, but I know that it won’t be any different when I find a new job. Anyone have any advice for me? Should I see about disability? I could really need some help with this one.
Thanks
