Struggled today

[Simonn]

So I was in work today but lately my workload is non existent this causes alot of anxiety it is soul destroying i start doubting myself and capabilities. My emotions go heywire. I worry about job security plus finding another job just drives me insane with worry.

I can relate to how you feel completely. I work for an employer who is very incompetent and they treat the employees very poor. Moral is very low and motivation is nonexistent. I’m ashamed to tell people where I work.

You are at work- millions of people are out of jobs- why not try to focus on the job and breathe?

I understand you. I get antsy as hell if I'm at work and I'm not doing anything. Especially if im new. I feel like i have to prove myself, and i worry like hell that anyone will think I'm lazy. Then everything starts to spiral out of control. They won't like me, then I'm out of a job, then i can't pay the rent, then I'm on the street, then I'm dead.

Same with relationships. Every little thing has the capability to trigger me into a depression with the kind of result that seems "unrealistic" to anyone else but is far from fantasy in my mind.

Get with your bosses. Let them know that your workload is small and what else could you do. Tackle a project, clean up that area nobody wants to. Turn it into your time to shine. Keep up the good work.

A lot is insecure in the world today, and I am pretty convinced that it is a big source of anxiety for lots of people. I sometimes go back to the past/future but am living in the present more now. You have a job now so that is great. Remember , the boss will let you know when there is a problem- it costs thousands to bring someone on board ( average) so they will want to hold on to you.
