Cheers for the reply mate.
It's kind of a step up the career ladder I guess, it's a Fire and Security Engineer job.
Anxiety is around people! Most of the week I've been with another guy learning the ropes. We've got on ok and I have enjoyed it most days.
My anxiety has increased when I'm around the other guys in a group. Had to get a lift home today squeezed in a van with 2 other guys which seemed to ramp up my stress levels even more.
I take a SNRI, Duloxetine which has been amazing in helping me sleep and function day to day for the past 2 years. I have asked my doc to change to a SSRI soon as Duloxetine makes me sleepy when I drive, job includes a lot if driving.
I've never had any formal diagnosis for anything, I don't see how it could help me.
Had counselling for social anxiety which was helpful.
Used drugs and alcohol a lot on and off over my life, it's been great
!
Had anxiety issues since the day I was born I guess, always been sensitive.
