Dear lexy99:

You wrote that you wonder “if it’s just me or the job”-

It is both. Your anxiety will disrupt every job you have, most likely, just as it disrupted every job you did have. It is also true that some jobs will encourage your anxiety more than others. So it is both: you and the job.

I call it “the macro and the micro” when dealing with anxiety:

the macro is changing jobs when it is wise to do so, or making changes in your current job, such as changing some of the requirements (less calls, for example)

the micro is managing and healing, if possible, in some of the following ways: quality psychotherapy, meditation, mindfulness practice,  exercise, listening to relaxing music.
