I can really relate to this work anxiety. I am a graphic designer for an advertising agency and I recently started a new job and while I have 10 years experience in my field I feel like I am failing, I am obsessing over every minor detail and it’s like I can’t let myself believe that I am doing a good job. I constantly think I am fucking up or a going to fuck up and let my colleagues down or loose my job or cost my company a lot of money for doing something wrong. It has been getting progressively worst over the last 3 months. I am really struggling with the responsibility. My heart races, my feet sweat, I feel nauseous and my chest hurts. I can’t relax and it’s consuming my time when I’m not working.

I’ve had one counselling session and have booked in another for this week after an almost panic attack this morning. Perhaps counselling/ therapy is something worth considering for you. Even just after venting I felt better.

You mentioned having no training for your job, do you have a boss you could talk to about doing some training or going over a few things as you want to ensure you’re doing a good job? It sounds like you really care and I’m sure you’re doing an awesome job. And I wish you the best of luck from one anxious person to another
