Don’t worry; a lot of people are a little overwhelmed when they think about working after uni. If you think your anxiety of working is going to affect your daily life, you might want to talk to someone about it. You can set up an appointment with a counselor, your school psych, or you can call the Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) or Lifeline (13 11 14), both are free and anonymous. Talking to someone can really help you. Since you have identified what makes you anxious, you will better be able to manage it as well. Here are some tips you can use (http://au.reachout.com/find/articles/anx… The website has many more fact sheets and stories about anxiety from other young people as well (http://au.reachout.com/find/articles/dea…

"I had suffered generalized anxiety for more than two years and I can tell you that Charles' Linden Method helped me when I thought nothing could help me. I took medications like Valium, Zoloft, Lexotan, Xanax which had no effect over my anxiety, except making me feel very dizzy every day. Now it has been one year since I gave up the medication and I feel OK again."

Choose a job that requires little thought. Painting exercise is also beneficial to train your peace of mind and mood

A cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs is NOT the answer.... they are nothing but controlled poison. Google Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT. Use pharmaceutical drugs as a last resort ONLY.... try this first.
Cocktail of Celexa and Klonopin. I have social anxiety disorder and it works wonders.
