I have social anxiety. would having a full time job help lower the anxiety levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Social anxiety: disorder can be overcome. Sometimes a little medication helps. Once you have things under control you can try tapering off the meds under the supervision of a physician. I would avoid certain full time jobs until you are squared away. (I would avoid work as a cruise ship activities director, lion tamer, mime, or bomb defuser)
