How does your mental health affect your work life?!

At work, customers, or employees would give me strange looks if I acted strange w/o noticing it!. It hurt :( I quit because of that!.

Notice most of the posters talk about their mental health problems
so I don't know how that can help you!. Mental health, as well
as physical health, can affect every aspect of your life!.

If you are concerned about it, make an appointment to get a physical
and discuss with your doctor your concerns!. He/she may think
you need therapy and may suggest that you see a mental
health professional!. On the other hand, depending on if you are
depressed or anxious, he/she may prescribe medication to help you
with this!.

Work is stressful!. Good mental health is important!. So get some
help with evaluating how your mental and physical health is!.

Good luck to you!.

Im having problems with my memory and it makes me look like a fool!. Like I will do something one day and forget about it the next, or forget what I have to do, or forget about how to process something!. Also having problems just looking for workarounds, thinking about other ways of finding the answer to something - most times I just go and ask someone and its annoying them!. It is a side effect of the meds Im taking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Having OCD my desk must be clean, and all my equipment i!.e phone, keyboard, desk tidy, picture of son MUST all be sitting in the correct position in a right angle!. If I come into work and anyone has completed some of my work for me I wil undo it and re-do it all over again, even if there is nothing wrong with it!. I do everything in a certain order, and if I don't have all the correct information in time for me to do things in the "right" order then I get really upset!. Basically my colleagues think I'm a moody control freak but this is not the case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't have a job!.!.yet because of it!. I have social anxiety!. I had a job at Baskin Robins when I was 16!. I felt so sluggish and like I couldn't keep up!. Also I couldn't befriend my coworkers cause I felt so nervous!. I had back pains from all the anxiety!. One time a costumer could tell I was so nervous and said I was shaking!. To sum it up I got fired for being immature in the sense I didn't have enough experience!. I'm terrified to get a job now but I have to eventually since I'm 20!.!.!. My disorder makes it really hard for me to have hope in ever being able to handle a job though cause socializing is such a huge part of every day life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My depression has effected my career in quite a big way!. When it got to its worst point I had to drop out of university!. I couldnt concentrate or even carry out the most basic tasks I needed to do to get me through everyday life!.

Im now in full-time employment which is managable!. The only problems are sometimes I feel really low and cant be honest with people about the cause!. I take Prozac which has caused me to become very restless!. I think people are starting to notice I dont sit and relax in one place for long periods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have extreme anxiety and panic attacks so I can no longer work indoors in a public or office atmosphere!. So, I've been a dog walker for the past 10 years!. It's the only way I can stay outside where I feel comfortable!. But it sucks, because I'd like to actually do something with my college degree, I feel like I'm wasting my life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
