irrationalanxiety

One of my managers at my restaurant job makes me rather anxious. If I make a mistake that he sees, he’ll explain what to do next time, even if he’s told me before. Now when I see him, my anxiety about being told off distracts me and makes me more likely to mess up. Consequently, I’m making most of my mistakes in front of that manager, and becoming more wary of him in turn. This loop is starting to hurt my work performance when my anxiety makes my brain fog. Any advice on how to handle this? #Advice #Anxiety #Work #irrationalanxiety #WorkplaceStress #SocialAnxiety

#DistractMe

I had my second session of therapy yesterday. I always dread going but once I’m there I’m happy that I came and proud of myself for trying heal myself. My therapist is a very nice understanding professional lady and I’m glad to have her as my therapist, however I keep having these irrational thoughts that she really hates me and thinks I’m ugly and stupid and thinks all my problems are stupid and that she’s going to have me hauled off to a mental facility or something, now I know she doesn’t feel this or think any of this and I know she would never do that, I’ve just never been to therapy before and I’m letting my anxiety get to me. Anyone else think this and feel this way when they go to therapy? #Therapy #Anxiety #irrationalanxiety #Irrationalthoughts
