I left my job of 5 years went to take on a new one. Didn’t go as planned, went back to old job but haven’t felt the same. Having hard time interaction with colleagues causing me to be in total silent most of the times, I am able to do my task but just haven’t been myself I had two break downs at work and caused me to go home and went into an anxiety attack and feeling depressed. The thought of going to work and people judging and looking at me a certain way makes me just run away and hide.. can anyone relate I need help dealing with this

I had a huge problem with thinking people were judging me. My therapist tells me most people are so self centered that they are probably not even looking at us when we think they are.

I hope your boss is supportive of your issue?

I think the best thing is to focus on your duties and try and drown out the thoughts that others have their eyes on you. Eventually you should settle into your routine.

Did something bigger trigger your attacks that forced you to leave?

I can be difficult leaving a job them possibly going back at a later date, you may have mixed feelings on returning and you work mates may feel why you came back, or even why you left in the first place.

How are you feeling after returning , you mention less than forthcoming with those you knew before, They may also feel the same, so the attitude of all towards you, you will be able to cut it with a knife

How was you leaving the new job what was the situation there on leaving ?

Not suggesting you look for another job although do you feel you have become distant to your workmates, it may be your return was a bad idea and you feel bad on what you did in the first place

Hi. I’ve had that issue for a very long time. I always think people are judging me on every move I make or I say. But I learned to brush them off, or even sometime just confront the people who gives me discomfort. When I say confront, I mean not in an aggressive way, most of the time I joke around. For example, catching someone whispering behind my back, I respond by “Hey! What’s the latest news? I like to gossip.” Most of the time, I catch them off guard, either they’ll share the conversation with me, or they’ll learn not to “talk about me”—assuming they are, around me.

My way of thinking. You cannot control every situation. You can only control over certain aspects of your life. You cannot fix or make people understand your situation. But you can definitely control the people who you let in your life. You can decide on the people who matters. I hope I made sense
