My atmosphere at work is pretty chill. I have nice colleagues and there is zero pressure from my boss. The problem is that I grew up in a strict family, and being punished for even small grammar mistakes in childhood grew into a huge perfectionism, fear of failure and impostor syndrome in adulthood at work I'm constantly driven by fear: fear that I don't meet my colleagues' expectations that I set by myself, fear of failure, fear that I will be fired and won't be able to land another job. This constantly creates stress during my work, leading to procrastination, which in turns leads to more stress, creating a vicious cycle that I've been unable to escape for a decent amount of time Being driven by fear instead of excitement and curiosity destroys any fulfillment from work, making it feel like a torture every day. I do my miserable 8 hours per day, go to the gym and then watch youtube or read social media until late night because it is the only part of my life that i enjoy. I also hate the idea of waking up to do another cycle of miserable 8 hours of work I have no idea how to escape from my current situation. Any advice? #mentalhealth
Travel for 20+ days…change environment. Don’t think about work at all while traveling. You’ll get back with some perspective. Yo will be able to think clearly and reflect if you manage to create distance from existing environment that is bothering you. Travel can create both mental and physical distance. Worth trying.
Avoidance feeds anxiety. Take control on your tasks, don't think about things that you can't control.
You’re supposed to be depressed if you don’t work remote. It’s your body telling you something’s wrong
I work remotely
I think you got that backwards
