My name is Kayla and I am 21 years old..I have had anxiety ever since i was little starting in 3rd grade, reading out load or getting into small groups for projects. In middle school I would dread the teacher to call on me, i would sit in the back of the class room. Getting up in front of the class room i hated it, and would say little as possible. Highschool was the worst, I would skip class or come up with and excuse not to Present things to the class. When i got called on to answer a question sometimes i would say i don't know even if i knew the answer and feared people judged me or thought i was stupid for not answering. Looking back it's crazy how much fear i had about fear of speaking out even with my family, friends, and even eating at lunch. At lunch i would sometimes not eat or go into the lunch room, i would sneak food from home and eat it in the hall ways. I eventually dropped out of college and yet have i returned. For about 2 years i didn't work, would stay home alot or hangout with my friends that i know and felt comfortable being around, i started smoking, and drinking. Al through that time i told myself i have to get rid of the fear and take my life back. I started to try to find jobs, would go to interveiws and would be all excited and then when it came to all these questions, i just would not know how to explain my answers, at one interveiw i totally bombed because i felt like everybody in the resturant was looking and trying to listen and felt on the spot. At another interveiw I couldn't answer the questions the way i wanted to PLUS some of the questions were about how i work and i didn't know how to answer because i hadn't had a job in 2 years. And acctually in that interview umm i actually cried in front of the manager because i had anxiety. Eventually with me reaching out for help from the Workforce center i managed to get a temporary 3 months of work and Goodwill- best job i've ever had being part of the Processing job of Hanging clothes and putting thing out in the store floor.
Today i have a Job at Once upon a child, as people mention best store in the francise in MN,–doing Cash register, tagging items, Answering Phones, Hanging clothes, making things look neat and organized, cleaning, and putting things on the shelves or putting things out in the store. Just resently i discovered that if i wasn't the only one obligated or expected to be on the resister by myself, and answer the phones my working there would be much less Anxiety. With my social anxiety and fearing i might not do something right as people have noticed my short comings with sometimes not knowing about a product asking questions when i need help, ect. It might be a better fit if i don't answer the phones, and not be the expected on to be on the register by my self… Social anxiety for me just is something i know wont last because I know someday i will figure out what i need to do in order to express or explain things better, not over whelm myself with what there thoughts about me are or just me know what i know can benefit others, and go my own way and be happy for what i do best.

I have been on Zoloft for about 1 year now. I have severe anxiety. I dont know why I used to constantly think of bad thoughts, which would give me the anxiety because they seemed so real to me. My mood is much better. I don't get so mad all the time either.

I experience almost every one of these symptoms. But I'm totally freaking out about talking to the new family doctor about it. None of my family seem to understand, neither do I actually. Has anyone got any ways to help talking about it easier, I know that the only way outta this, is to do this. I'm 16. Sorry if I am wasting time here but I wanna know. Thanks and I hope someone reply's.
