First, pick employment that is fun to you. Avoid employers who do not have good, healthy work environments.

Second, define for yourself how to be a professional.

Third, don't let inept bosses put their stress on you. Stress in the workplace is a sign of poor management.

Your job is to do a good day's work for a good day's pay and pat yourself on the back after each day.

Stress on the job is completely optional.

I am looking toward being self employed cleaner so i call the shots and i can controll how much i work and dont have to deal with working around others.
I just quit my CNA job after years of struggling with my work anxiety, i tried really hard but decided to do something more manageable for me.
Have you thought about a home based buisiness or a job where you can work from home?.
Good Luck!.

i just started a job yesterday and it went ok. i felt the start of a panic attack coming on while the trainer was talking to me. i got about half of what she was saying lol, but i talked myself down and just tried to focus on good thoughts in my life. i did choose a low stress job and i will not take crap from a boss. i do a good job and i am not about to let someone i dont care about make me feel less. i have enought to deal with my own anxiety let alone someone elses. if you have to go to the bathroom to re-group. just keep your head up and deal with it as it comes. grats on the job tho :)

I too have the same problem. I do good when my work is appreciated. Unfortunately the current job I have is very stressful because of my boss. He yells at me. He doesn't give clear instructions and when I ask him about that he says that I ask too many questions. Every day is a nightmare.

I am a computer programmer and want to switch over to a less paying lower stress job, but don't know how to go about it
