do you have a job due to your anxiety?

Hey, I'm new to this so I best give you a brief insight into my life.

I'm a 19 year old female who's suffered with anxiety and extreme panic attacks since I was 13. I left school at 16 intending to get a job and start my life, I was very much mistaken as to how badly this plan would turn out.
My panic attacks struck out and in the end I didn't start the job I was suppose to. since then, I've had around 7/8 different job opportunities but sadly, each time it comes to the first day I pull out because I'm too scared of my anxiety hitting out. currently, I still have no job and I'm very worried that this is going to my life forever. I'm getting to the age where I need to start getting things sorted for the future and I really don't see that happening.

My question is, do you any of you guys have extreme anxiety and panic attacks but still have a job? if so, what's it like. how was starting the job ect. If you don't have a job, what do you think the future holds?

See a dr.  You need to get ahold of the anxiety.   I've heard a course called panic away is beneficial. Haven't tried it yet but do what it takes to get ahold of it. God Bless

Have you ever thought about going back to school and getting your GED? Shoot I'm at 23 year old college student and I still don't know what I want to be when I "grow up". You're still so young. I think the best thing for you to do is when you get a job try your best to stick with it. I can't remember what this practice is called..... Or if you feel a job isn't suited for you now have you thought about going to college? You're so young at 19 I wanted to be a fire fighter now almost 24 one it's one of the last things I'd wanna do. I'm just saying you shouldn't worry about what you have to do. I understand you want more help with your anxiety about when you first get a job though. Have you ever thought about getting help for this?? If you can't I would tell you look in the mirror know you are a strong person and gut out the first couple weeks of a new job. Before you know it it will become routine and distract you from your anxiety. I know what I'm saying is much easier said them done. So if you have the resources to talk to somebody about this I would suggest doing so since it has interfered with nearly 8 jobs
