Does anxiety get worse with age?

I suffer from anxiety and it's seems the older I get the worse my anxiety gets.

It's getting so bad I'm afraid of losing my job due to social anxiety since I have to interact with people at my job.

I have trouble talking to people even when I know the person.

Anxiety does seem to get worse as someone ages.

You might want to see a therapist to get some help with your anxiety since you say it's affecting your job.

A doctor can prescribe some anxiety medications that can help with your anxiety attacks.
