Can a job cause this?
Ok maybe I'm grasping at straws here, bit before I've never experienced anxiety and intrusive thoughts (never had an intrusive thought I thought was connected to my character before), and the only thing I can attribute it to is either my job or my location. I went from doing contracting and being outside often working on homes to an office job, last week due to the snow we were online and I was starting to feel somewhat better but now I'm in the office, and I had a panic attack on Sunday but I sucked it up, said I have to do this. Now it's Thursday and I'm having another panic attack/dissociating, when applying I had minor panic attacks in the office in interviews and I should've put two and two together but I figured I'd habituate, now I'm thinking about quitting and going back to contracting but it comes at a steep pay cut for the next year until I get the skills required to be good at it. I just can't help but feel it's because of the office job, to be honest I kind of hate the office. Anyone else experience this?
