Man, I feel like crap. Right now I have no job, I have no idea if the meds I'm taking are doing anything because my life is so screwed up right now and the wait in between therapist sessions is just soooooooooo annoying. I want to get a crappy retail job so I can get back into things again, but my confidence is so shot right now I'm afraid it will blow up in my face and I will be forced to quit soon after cause of anxiety. My last job I quit after 4 weeks because the constant stress and anxiety was making me a nervous and emotional wreck for 8 hours. It got so bad I felt like I was in a constant state of panic! And what's the point? Until I get my anxiety under control, any attempt at working or making friends will be ruined by my extreme nervousness. Uhhh, I wish I could work with my therapist for like 30 days straight, so i could feel like I was doing something besides sitting around for 2 weeks waiting for my next appointment. I mean, I go out once a day to busy places like grocery stores and stuff, but I just feel like a loser. What a crappy life right now!

I do exposure everyday, but my big issue is getting a job. My anxiety was so bad at my last job I had to quit after 4 weeks and I'm timid about getting a new job before I get my confidence up to a decent level and my anxiety under control. I've been unemployed for four months, haven't had any friends in a few years, and my social skills are so bad at this moment, I have no confidence I can interact with people without feeling panic. Anyways, just letting some steam off. I'm not trying to make excuses, it's just a rough period right now.
