Well I never quit my job over it, but I did quit doing a particular job at the place I worked at because of it and that was customer service at a store with a PA system and you have to page people and make announcements yadda yadda. Well I hate listening to my voice on a PA and then I get so distracted and am questioning if I sound alright, or freaking out about studdering, messing up, whatever the case may be. I told them I just couldn't do it anymore and I needed a job more physical because I can't stand in one place, which seemed to be fine with them, but still, it sucks because inside I know the real reason why and it makes me feel defeated.
You may want to try homeopathic medicines or cell salts. Those can be taken during pregnancy and are safe to do so. You can find them at health food stores or purchase them online. There are certain remedies and individual cell salts for anxiety, depression, nervousness, etc. I actually just purchased some cell salts this evening and I'm going to be trying them out and see how it goes. I've heard great things about the cell salts in helping people will all sorts of different ailments. I work in a health food store so I hear many testimonials. I figured I would give them a shot since I have tried every other supplement known to man.
Here is an article I found online that can help if you are interested or anyone else for that matter in using homepathics to possibly help in anything that you are experiencing. It's always worth a shot.
"The physical symptoms of panic disorder are caused by an excessive level of adrenaline which prepares the body for the flight and fight reaction. Some of the dreaded symptoms of a panic attack may include a raging heartbeat, difficulty breathing, feeling as though you can’t get enough air, terror that is almost paralysing, heart palpitations, shortness of breath or a smothering sensation, feeling of dread, dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea, trembling, sweating, shaking, choking, chest pains, distress, fear of some impending doom, an overwhelming need to hurry everything and everyone, sudden fright, anxiety, hot flashes or sudden chills, a tingling sensation in the fingers or toes (“pins and needles”), or the fear that you're going to go crazy or are about to die.
Almost anything can trigger this state of extreme anxiety and the person may start to develop all sorts of fears, including a fear of being alone, aeroplanes, driving, escalators, elevators, highways and busy public places such as shopping malls, department stores, restaurants. The sufferer may go to great lengths to avoid these circumstances in everyday life, which can lead to phobias like agoraphobia and social phobia.
There are many homeopathic remedies that will ease the emotional and physical symptoms of panic, gently and without any side effects. Choose the remedy (or remedies) below (in a 200C potency) that best describes your symptoms. You will be amazed how effective these remedies can be!
