Work and Anxiety

[purple13]

Does anyone struggle with work because of their anxiety? Like you want to do well but you get so stressed that you can't? I've been working on looking into accommodations for work with anxiety, does anyone have any recommendations?

In my experience, this has occurred but resolved with medication and time. i think taking one step at a time helps. For e.g. prepare a short tasklist which you know is doable, even if slowly and then get the pleasure of ticking it off. Your list can look like this -

Start small and go on to list more difficult items.

Hope this helps

Oh yes- I have anxiety at work every day. In my company, which is a silly *huge* building of over 3000 people, I have found a few places where I can go take a sit and relax for 15-20 minutes. It feels weird because I know most people don't do this sort of thing. But for me, I have GAD, and sometimes for *no* reason I can figure out, I am just a quivering mass. So I go hide, put on the headphones on my cell phone and listen to relaxing material. After that, I feel I can get back to my job (most of the time at least...)
