Having anxiety & new here...

[Colorful]

Good morning to any that see this. I have anxiety and have had mild depression in the past. I feel like I'm spiraling downward and I'm trying to get control over my life again. I ran across this page and thought I'd give it a try.

Hi, thank you, stress from work and some health issues. The anxiety makes the health issues worse so it's vicious cycle.

I am the office manager and the doctor, who is my boss, is the one that causes most of the stress. She is very hard to work for. never a kind word for anyone. I'm trying to find ways to deal with it. I thought once I got my stress test results I'd feel better, you know..peace of mind, but I read them online and now I'm even more worried. This was just reading them online, the cardiologist hasn't told me, yet. I may think it's worse than it is. Sometimes the health causes the anxiety and some times it's the anxiety that causes the health issues. I just feel really anxious and sad right now.

Work always puts you in a complicated and stressful situation where you have to choose your battles, and where to cross the boundaries. But you do NOT deserve to work in a hostile environment where it affects your ability to concentrate on your job and do it effectively. Having someone treat you that way, causes you to lose interest and motivation in your work which someone will get hurt at the end regardless if it is you or your boss. Do you have a compliance number where you can talk to someone anonymously?? Or does your job have an Employee Assistance Program where you can talk to regarding to this situation to help you deal with this??? I hope you well, and inhale the positive drive, and exhale the negative drawbacks that hurts you.

It's a small office and there's really nothing for me to do except deal with it or find another job. It's exhausting, isn't it?
