I have a few issues here, I will try and keep it short. Im away from my family right now for work and I am under such stress my behavior issues have been acting up. I have had severe social anxiety for about 4 years and my current job has benefits that will pay for me to see a professional. Thing is I have been under such stress with my work my mental state has been decreasing for the last 3 weeks. My anxiety has gotten so bad I have had to stop drinking coffee in the morning bacause I found I was getting so on edge/angry at people. I get so wound up at work that I found im on such an edge that I just feel like phoning up my boss, telling him I quit, and driving home 150 miles per hour. I also recently have broke a few of my belongings, and punched my car hood. With all this stress I have been under, plus the anxiety I lag around everyday, I feel like im tempted to just pack up and go home, but I know my benefits will kick in in no time and I will be able to see a professional. Today I was so stressed that I thought I was going to go crazy that I had to go and buy a beer before my last job so I could calm down. never in my life have I drank on the job, or had a probelm with alcohol but lately I have been picking up booze when I get home more and more. I just think with me being alone at work, and my mind racing 100 miles an hour, I just get myself wound up over nothing. I always feel like im going to snap and like end up in a mental institution or something. I never feel like I want to injure/kill anyone, I just want to get that point across as well. I work for a large company, and its really not that bad of a job, it just seems like I HAVE to quit, I cant handle it. People always think im weak cause I cant stick to a job, its just that the stress gets so bad that I get sick I start to drink alot, and I feel my mental state weakens at any job after about 6 months. I used to run ALOT to avoid anxiety but I find im absolutely exhausted when I get home I cant even do that. Should I just quit my job, sell my car and pay to see a professional? Or should I stick with my job and wait for my benefits? thanks ALOT!
