I can't stop worrying about my job

I work in the HR department of a company which is going through major changes. I have been there only 9 months and there has been major turnover. I can not stop worrying that I will be let go next. I am worried that they are looking for my replacement because they are doing the same for others. I work so hard but can not get everything done. I work overtime sacrificing time with my son. I am so consumed with this fear it is effecting my life. The problem is that my gut feeling is usually right. I had suspected my husband had been cheating on me online and I recently found out that he had been. Please help me-I have gotten myself so sick.

Calm down. It will be ok, if you do your job the right way, them I believe that your boss will see that. If you want to talk then I am here to listen.

Corporate downsizing is an unfortunate fact of life. What else can you do? Will your skills easily transfer to another job should this one be eliminated? I don't think there's anything you can do about this but continue to do your best and hope the company sees you as very valuable. I'm betting they have everybody running scared right now and they're getting so much more out of you than they deserve to get for your pay. Maybe look around and try to find something that might replace what you're doing now should the worst happen. Occupy your mind with that instead of worry and you might find that extra energy goes toward something of use to you. What if you could find another job that paid better, had fewer hours and was less stressful?! Then YOU could give THEM the boot!

Hey pcm,
this website is great for finding support regarding infidelity. I think that discussion group has 2200 members! go over there and discuss your recent discovery. They will make you feel better, hopefully.
As for your job, stop thinking about the worst that can happen! I have always done that until recently when I learned about "the secret". It is kind of cheesy, but real: visualize what you want!
Good luck. {{{hug}}}

Like you I am worried also. Maybe we are just obsessing and paronoid but that dont stop the worry does it. I am a cashier... I am constantly in fear of a minor buying beer or cigs then the cops coming in to arrest me. My mind is not that great and I have been cussed sooo many times for "obsessively{" i d ing them At least every 15 minutes i get a slight panic attack over weather it was a sting and the cops are out to get me.. In 11 years I have been stung 3 times and my "obsession" saved my job. and made it that much worse cause I know it can and will happen agian. I wish I could just calm down relax and trust that the i d is real and that the kid is 21

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
