Work Anxiety

blueSugar2316 August 15th, 2023

Does anyone struggle with anxiety because of their job? My work triggers my anxiety so bad. I’m constantly in a state of fight or flight and it gets tiring - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

If you can relate, please leave a message so we can support one another through this struggle.

@blueSugar2316 Yes, I'm struggling with anxiety. I resigned after 4 days. Now I'm looking to try another job.

I’ve been in the same career field for years, and I’ve felt anxieties on and off almost everyday. I feel stuck in the same career because I don’t have any much experiences in anything else. I hope to start college soon again to learn a new career, but it’s so expensive.

I looked into getting disability for my anxieties, but how do I prove that I’ve been experiencing it for so many years?

At work, I am learning to temporarily desensitize myself in order to control my anxieties. However, I feel like it has an effect on me after work, like I feel more tired, and my triggers play back in my head when I’m suppose to be resting.

I'm the same way. My anxiety leads to burnout...or maybe the burnout led to the anxiery...who knows...there is a subforum for work related stress and issues you can join also....look it up...it has helped me a lot

I can completely relate. When I spot my supervisor in the hall I literally feel I've run a marathon. My heart starts pounding, my hands get sweaty, and I feel I need to run away.
