do you keep it a secret that you suffer from panic attacks from your employer?

i mean panic attacks stemming from social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety/agoraphobia.
If any of you are capable enough to hold a job, can you please describe why you keep it a secret or reveal to your employer and coworkers? did it work for your side?
im afraid i might accidentally come out in my interview that i have anxiety disorder and get discriminated.

Hi
I would not let that out in an interview. People who do not suffer Any kind of panice disorder Do not understand. Once you get the job it’s okay to let it out. I never told my job until after i was hired (after your probation period) I hope this helps your question
thanks

try Valerian… it calms you down. Then, with time, you will get adjusted to your surroundings.
I think the world of employment is discriminatory to sufferers, I think it’s best to keep it to yourself, and just do your best to get past it.
Who cares about what other people know about this. Panic attacks can really wear you down and cause health problems if they persist. Time to change professions.
yes i have anxiety attacks and i didnt tell my employers that i have social anxiety disorder and i ended up getting fired because i didnt fit it. maybe if i had told them they would have given me another chance, but if i did tell them maybe i wouldnt have gotten hired in the first place.
i decided not to tell them because i thought i could work through it but yet again it held me back.
by the way i got fired from being a hostess at a restaurant and im 19.
