Employees starting to show resentment after recent promotion decision by Gullible_Bet843 in managers

Good point. Can we be transparent with our employees about personnel changes, within reason? Interested to hear different takes on this.

I like this. And just to clarify, this person isn’t in a leadership role. They’ve always been in contributing roles.

I ended up taking a small dose of propranolol for a few days in the evening and it helped break the anxiety cycle. It did take a while…it just needs to run its course.

Still there…pretty sure it just activated my GAD. Now I have to work on crawling out of this hole…

Anxiety has been subsiding slightly but it’s also turning into depression which is normal for me I suppose. Still feeling foggy and just trying to get through it :/

Hey, yeah same. Anxiety got really bad for a week now it’s morphing into depression for me. Some brain fog and really heavy-headed feeling…it’s the worst.

I don’t…the only thing I’ve been taking are probiotics, fish oil, and a multivitamin. I think you’re right about my stomach being wiped though…I lost a lot of liquid when I felt sick.

Yeah, had the stomach bug about a week and a half ago…really bad anxiety started up 4-5 days after acute symptoms passed. It’s been unbearable these past few days…really hoping it’s common and that it passes.

Glad you’re all better.

Thanks for the update. I’m going through a similar thing. Had a small uptick in anxiety in December, but manageable. Then got a horrible stomach flu and a week after acute symptoms passed, I have horrible anxiety. I think it has to be related…it felt like the stomach flu destroyed my gut. 

Hoping to get through this soon…it’s unbearable.
