So I happened to come across this page and decided to join. I feel it would be a benefit to me to be able to voice my anxieties and to hopefully find support with others who suffer from the same feelings. For a long time I ignored those feelings. I didn't believe I had anxiety and depression. It wasn't until living alone for a year that and all the effects that isolation had on me that I realized I needed some help. I do not take medication for these conditions. I have my dogs, my emotional support animals, who help to curb the loneliness.
The main source of my anxiety is my work. I'm in a fast paced, deadline oriented, job that requires heavy attention to detail. This is very new to me still even though I've been working there for a year. In this field, that's just how it is. People are constantly learning and growing. However, I'm not as excited or interested in that route. Even as I sit here, I can feel the anxiety growing. I'm watching the clock, seeing how much time I have until I need to leave, and the pressure in my chest is building. I try to breathe. I tried meditation. I tried to pull positive moments from my work such as a successful build, but this pressure always returns. I've been actively applying for other jobs with little response in return.
A friend suggested prayer. I had lost my faith so long ago that the idea was silly to me, but I did that too. It has helped and I feel there is a plan for me now, that I have to be patient because who knows what will be waiting for me tomorrow. I just wish I had peace with this current job while I find something that fits me better. I wish I could release this anxiety that chokes me every time I get ready for work. I know I need to be patient. I know that sometimes all I can do is just breathe through the feeling and remind myself it's just a job, take it day by day. I'm just tired of having to do that every day.
