If someone says something to you and you don't like it just switch companies, life is very short to be working in a bad environment

Don't take load of office work its just something that you do for money nothing more than that.

I think the realisation that you are bound to make mistakes and people will be always be unhappy with you for some or the other reason is the only way to get rid of this anxiousness.
You wanting to do everything correct is a good characteristic to have, but it should not be to please others.

Anxiety- Grapevine

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

After 7-8 months at my new job, I've been increasingly anxious, affecting my sleep. I'm constantly worried about making mistakes, even when they're not my fault. Recently, my manager rebuked me for errors that weren't mine, and since then, ge has just gone silent with me and he has just sideined me. The situation is making work and life challenging, with random outbursts adding to the stress.
Company culture is also very toxic after layoffs and everyone just keeps on blaming each other.

How to handle this situation?

Feel Anxious about going to work everyday

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

As asked in the title. During office timings, I am really anxious to the point that I am unable to relax during lunch breaks as I am afraid I will get a message or a call that I might have to jump into. I know it sounds stupid, but I spend nearly 10 hours everyday with crippling anxiety. It has become so bad, I am considering quitting to work on myself just to get rid of this anxiety. However the Current market scenario doesn't allow me to me do this. I have asked my friends and family about this, but everyone says 'don't quit', 'work hard' Etc. I am sick of hearing this.

How do you deal with the crippling anxiety for WFH?

Project Manager

Today i have gone to doctor as i have headache and little bit of dizziness. She said i got anxious all the time. It is kind of true. But i dont know how to rectify those anxiousness.

For example, i am going get a project where i dont how to work on backend project wrt testing. I got anxious. I got anxious while driving that i have to drive safely. I dont have to go for over speed limit. Even if i pick up tea cup i got anxious that tea should not be spilled on floor.

I have remote job and work is chill. But anxiousness always finds a way in my routine. Due to that i am getting high blood pressure. I am also walking daily except this week due to sickness.

I am anxious all the time

Software Developer

I have been suffering from work related anxiety for the last 3-4 months. I have recently started taking medications for it. I am supposed to move to Bengaluru as my wfh has ended. My parents think it's a good idea as it will help change my environment. I am wondering if it's a good idea to share about it at my workplace with my manager/superior. I know it's subjective, but still. Because I am worried this has started to affect my performance. Also, I am a talkative and emotional person and may end up slipping these things anyway.

Informing manager / superior about anxiety

Don't share this with anyone in workplace unless you really trust your manager who you know will always have your back 
  
 But please start seeking therapy regularly and actively, and do have faith in the process. You'll be available to cope with it better hopefully

Program Manager

If you mess up on a client engagement and can't finish a task properly? What happens ? What are the repercussions? I'm a fresher and I don't know what to do anymore ? Is this normal ? It's only been 7 months here , I'm a campus hire and I feel out of my depth? Seniors don't help that much as they're too busy? My anxiety is really high and I don't know really know what to do anymore.
Any tips advice would be helpful?

Any one hear constantly think they are going to get fired, how do you guys deal with thought ? I have been working for about 5+ years but still have this anxiety and for some reason it’s bothering me a lot more than it should.

Anxiety around job security

Feeling worried all the time

I am 28 year old, unmarried and staying at Bangalore working at Cognizant

Problems in my life

1. I am fighting with my own parents because I love a guy from different religion.
He is my school mate and very good person. We both are at IT firm. He earns 38LPA and I earn 16LPA. Financially we are good and we both have very good understanding of each other.

2. I have health issues like pcod , thyroid, gas trouble and digestion issues. Constantly taking tablets and feeling exhausted all the time.

3. I have very toxic work culture at office. My manager literally forces us to work like hell. She doesn't concern about our health issues and treats like robots.

I am always thinking about work and getting anxiety issues. Currently I feel like taking break from everything and focus on myself but money is also important because i want to financially independent.
My brain is constantly worried thinking about future like work, health and money. Nothing really helps me and I feel worried all the time.

Anxiety, depression issues in personal and professional life

Senior Data Engineer

I think I have social anxiety. Currently working in a lead role. Everyday I feel very anxious before any meeting. How to cope up with it?

Social anxiety

I don't know if this post would make sense, but does anyone ever wish they were less? Less competent, less "bright", less "smart"? I'm not being braggy but I am pretty smart (not book smart but smart smart) and while objectively I am doing pretty good, I just constantly feel like I'm not living up to my fullest potential!

Should I be on the lookout for a better job (the present one is fine) or preparing to study more or, I don't know, to scale and scale? It feels like everyone has such high expectations of me and I hate making mistakes, even if it is a typo in a document

The anxiety that I'll never live up to my potential becomes so crippling, it becomes counter productive and like Dr. Strange, I forseen like a 100 different possible outcomes of every decision because I can't seem to turn my brain off! Ignorance is bliss and I so wish I could be ignorant

Does anyone ever wish they were... Less?

Lawyer

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand.

Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it.

But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry.

If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength

I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it

Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.

Strange work anxiety

I have relocated to Tier 1 city after WFH for 4 years for working in hybrid mode I am becoming anxious thinking I am an outsider in the city and thinking will the city treat me well, will I survive in the workplace as I don't know local language and all that stuff.

Today my restlessness grew to a bad extent thinking all these how will I support my family if I am not able to help myself.

What should I do?

1. Should I learn local language ...is my worry valid?
2. Should I start looking for WFH options...are the companies providing WFH options?
3. Should I move to NCR region?

Anxiousness in a new city

*TW: Mental Health Struggles*

Hi there, folks!

I was contemplating about how my fellow professionals with mental health conditions manage their careers and grow despite the daily struggles.

You see, I deal with Clinical Depression and Anxiety which often hinders how I function day to day and have too manage through rigorous therapy and opting for heavy medication. 

This condition often disables me to concentrate on long-term performance and stability in a ln organisation- I often get burnout within 6-7 months of the job & need to take a sabbatical of the work.

I will love to hear about anecdotes and see if we all can create a space here. Thanks! (:

Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance. 

I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety.

Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a mental health therapist for as long as I can.
