My anxiety is causing my work to drop on quality
I work a customer service job at the moment and my anxiety cause me to kinda have a fear of people so it makes my job really tough on me I take everything to heart I’m always worried about loosing my job because I’m not doing okay and I may come off as having a poor attitude when in fact I just have really bad anxiety and I dissociate when I’m super stressed.I find myself getting really stressed and having really bad panic attacks after work .
My anxiety was affecting my work also, to the point it would cause me anxiety about losing my job. It was hard but I spoke to my HR department and was just honest with them about what I am going through. They have to support you. I don't know if you feel ypu have someone at work you can do this with.. but it helped me not worry about work if that makes sense. I know if I'm having a bad time or whatever, I can take 10 minutes to try and regroup. I also work a customer service role, but it's telephone based so I can take that time away
I think bad idea to suggest she discuss with h. R businesses say they are supportive this is really bad advice
Thats yoir opinion. But in my experience it was the best thing that I could do. There is a stigma about mental health that needs to be broken. Some places of work are really gearing towards mental health, especially since this pandemic. So, you may feel its bad advice, but it's just advice. Please do not speak on somebody else's behalf
Hey I hear you and I hear your struggles! You are not alone! I’m glad you came here to reach out to help yourself! I too dissociate when I get really stressed out! What do you do to ease you’re anxiety and bring yourself back to the present? Have you ever heard of grounding? It really helps me to engage on the present and helps my anxiety as well!
At the moment.. nothing seems to get me back lol its a tough time atm. Thanks for your reply also. I have never heard of grounding. I shall look it up, I need something to try and keep me.. sane
