We ALL have this problem - I just finished posting here about
another health related anxiety I have and the heart attack one is VERY common to all of us too. And I have the same anxiety about
work too - I KNOW I can do the job but I'm always afraid my anxiety will get the best of me and everyone will find out I can't cope. All you can do is keep doing what you're doing and constantly reassuring yourself, "I can", " I can" and "you will." It seems that so many of us anxiety sufferers are pretty intelligent people but our emotions just get the best of us.. The thing is that even though we feel so awful inside, most other people don't notice. I had had anxiety for over l0 years and when I finally told some close friends I worked with, they couldn't believe it - they said they thought I really had it all together - when all the time I felt like I was falling apart inside and that EVERYONE could notice. Keep pushing ahead my dear, you'll get through it and there will be times when you actually feel okay...hopefully the "feel good" times will eventually overcome the bad. Good luck.
