So I had finally gone to see someone about some of my issues last Thursday by going to a walk in mental health clinic. Over all, it was helpful in many ways,
though I wish I had time to discuss more than one issue. I had decided that’s what I wanted to address today was my anxiety and the panic attacks I have been having, since those are impeding on my ability to work, as well as my allergy. I opted in for doing a counseling session with someone and having another doctor on the other side of a two-way mirror, since a) three heads are better than one, and b) they may catch something that either myself or the doctor in the room with me missed.
Basically the doctor I saw confirmed that I do have social anxiety [which is pretty common tbh] and that my panic attacks are triggered by my senses being overloaded, mainly my audio senses once it reaches a certain loudness. At this point, only the metallic banging has reached that volume or tone. Personally, I’m counting my blessings there. He told me about another app I can get for my phone to help with the anxiety, and told me that since the trigger isn’t really being taken seriously at work as well as there being the issue with my allergy is pretty serious, that I should start looking for other jobs.
tbh I had already started looking, though finding something that pays as much or better is hard. If the new place had health benefits though, it’d be a huge step up… anyway
over all, they were glad that I was already taking steps to get out and do things about my anxiety and the like.
oh, and that I showed signs of add somehow? 
I’m planning to go back in a week or so to talk to them about my depression and stress, since that meeting really helped and showed me that it wasn’t all just in my head and me being paranoid.
