Hi everyone,
I'm new to this posting thing so not sure if I'm doing it right? I have struggled with anxiety and depression for years and most recently had a difficult relationship break-up (a long story!) which I am finding it hard to recover from. I have just started taking Lexapro again (I stopped Nov 2011 because I felt like I was in a good mental place) but need to start working a new job tomorrow and am really freaking out (I think the lexapro is making it worse at the moment). I stopped working in architecture 5 years ago because I found it too hard with my anxiety and shyness but haven't decided what else to do yet and need a job so have fallen back into it without wanting to at all. So I accepted a job offer not really knowing why I did and now I don't know what to do. I know what the work will be like and I know I'll hate it but everyone says I should just give it a shot anyway. Has anyone else been in this situation or one similar? Thanks
