I feel like that all the time. I wish I had a magic answer. Just know​ that you are not alone. Hugs

I understand. If some how you could relax often, like take breaks outside, and to yourself if it would help you. This is what I have to do. God bless.

Hey I am going through the same thing and have gone off sick today!

Thank you all for the kind words

Thank you gmasunshine4

I like to visualise each new stress as a new finite object I must conquer. yes, each new stress has a bundle of anxiety with it. and I have to process that anxiety before I even know what went wrong. Or even - if anything went wrong. Often nothing went wrong....

But as I get more experience in the role, with the people, in the workplace, the anxiety bundles come less and less often. To start there are heaps of them. By the end there are so few that each one is just a bit of a 'hey-ho' reaction. If I haven't lost my job by now, I'm probably not going to... the panic can amp down a few notches.

Let the anxiety happen. Let it flow through you and let it earth. And each time you do this you will be that much stronger. Incrementally larger. And you will get so big you will outgrow the problems. Trust me. :p just do it. :D

PS: make sure you have enough time in your day and in your week to rest. Absolutely rest. Anxiety, growth - are exhausting. I think that's where depression comes, because depression seems to hit when you are very low on energy. Take care of your energy and take care of your quality of life.

I think your job is not healthy for you.

If you have any vacation time, this would be a good time to take a break from work and return fresh.

Thank you all for the advice. Bridge, I will try your technique of letting the anxiety flow through me, and resting more to gain energy. Thank you!

I’m not sure your position, but I know with your position alone work can be stressful. Do you share or pick up the workload of some of your colleagues? I f so, you can talk to them about completing their workload or what would help to eliminate work-related stress on you and others. Thus, if you are doing all you can you can discuss this matter with your supervisor and plan how to complete your tasks. On the other hand, what you do while away from work matters to help relieve your anxiety and depression you experience at work. Also, try these coping these may help you. 1. Take a time-out- Practice yoga, listen to music, meditate, get a massage, learn relaxation techniques. Stepping back from problems helps clear your head.
2. Exercise daily- makes you feel good and maintains your health.
3. Slowly count to 10- Repeat and count to 20 if necessary.
4. Accept that you cannot control everything
5. Give back to your community- Volunteer. This creates a support network and gives you a break from everyday stress.
6. Talk to someone-vent and let them know you need help. Friends, family, doctor, therapist
7. Eat well-balanced meals- Do not skip meals and eat energy boosting snacks.
8. Take deep breathes- Inhale and exhale slowing throughout the day when you are feeling stressed.
9. Do your best- Instead of aiming for perfection which is not possible. Be proud of how close you get.
10. Maintain a positive attitude- Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
11. Learn what triggers your anxiety- Is it work, family or school or something else you can identity? Write in a journal and look for a pattern.
