Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I seem to be having issues with professionalism today.
Is there anyone that fits into the work category of a professional office worker? If so, How do you deal with anxiety and trying to talk to your bosses? How do you gain the confidence necessary to sound competent when no one will listen to what you have to say? How do you train yourself to be professional when no one will give you more than 5 minutes of time?
Vent section- Do my bosses not believe in me? Do I not get a chance to prove I can start a company? Do I not deserve to know what will potentially affect my job before everyone else? If a change is going to affect my job, shouldn't I be able to be involved? Since I don't have a supervisor who is responsible to give me updates.
I have been struggling with this for a few weeks. Apart of it is the struggle of not having enough information, or having someone who will give me the information.

These questions you raise show that you are far more aware of the "..." and that you're trying to get the management to answer these questions on a personal level.
Be professional. You get paid to work. The very thoughts you have, your bosses also have. Be respectful. Practice your appearance and words in front of a mirror until you are comfortable without looking. This will show the confidence that you have in yourself!
You got this, stay strong, keep smiling, and do your work.
Best wishes!
Keep venting, Angel. Your answers are in there. At worst, venting is one of the best anxiety relievers I've found in my anxious life.
Listening. . .
More encouragement to stay strong. keep smiling and do your work.
I really don't share that much and never talk about it. I made it a point to attend his 75th birthday party. He and his wife (as well as the other agents) seemed really happy to me and kept asking when I would be back.
My dear boss told my friend that he knew how difficult it was for me to be there and it meant so much to him.
I so hope that you can make things better. Maybe a bit of meds might help?

Apart of me is sitting here, reading through going, "Well, I can't practice dressing up professionally because of no clothes (awhile back, I was told that I have to dress in a similar manner to clinic staff, I was never told that my boss didn't think I looked professional enough, and I can't afford a whole new wardrobe), but I shouldn't do that because it is self-defeating. Man, stupid self-defeating head...
I know eventually, I will get answers to my questions. It is just figuring out how to ask them in a respectful, professional manner. This is gonna be really hard. One of the reasons is because I don't feel like I get anyone's time (not even coworkers), (not even to be updated about the company that I work for.
Sometimes, I don't feel like anyone gives me the time of day either.
But I just keep trying, doing my best. For me, the more pressure that I put
on myself to keep up appearances the more anxious I get.
You must have many strengths. I think that it's important to love yourself
and just keep being you. And, I am sorry that you are going through this.
