Work anxiety

I'm pretty sure my new boss thinks I'm stupid and just doesn't like me. I don't know if that's anxiety talking, but it makes me nervous and defensive when I'm around him, which just compounds the problem. Even at the best times, it seems like we have communication problems. How do I deal with this without beating myself up and getting anxious and depressed?

Hey there!

Im so sorry this reply comes late.

How has work been these recent weeks? Are you still experiencing difficulties with your boss?

Its a terrible feeling when someone you work for/with makes you feel so anxious, we always tend to think the worst, and because we have anxiety, we over think to much which increases our anxieties. Do you have any coping techniques? What works for you outside of work?

If you would like to send me a pm, I'd happily talk you through this, and hopefully provide some useful resourses for you to explore.

Take care
