Hi again
I was wondering if anyone ever feels like stuck in their job and they dont know if this is what they really want to do and they make their stresses at the workplace become anxiety?

My job is extremely stressful- I am basically running the company and I am constantly overwhelmed with work and feel like I want to scream alot. How do you calm these emotions down when you are at work and not let them cause you anxiety.
any help out there ???

Hi

Ask yourself, "Is this my ideal job right now?" If the answer is no, then you are not happy in the job. If the job causes you serious grief and is interfering with your personal time off work, then I would suggest looking into pursuing a different career path. If that isn't possible there are only 2 things left to do:
1- Accept the job.
2- Modify your attitude about the job.

Are you making your job harder than it really is? Are you overburdening yourself with work without delegating some of it to others who could help you out. Are you a perfectionist at work? If any of these are you, then you need to re-evaluate your attitude and let go of your negative work habits and make work more enjoyable than such a struggle.

Yeah you are right. The thing is I do like the job- its challenging and interesting and I am very comfortable with the money. I just have a demanding boss who is my father and he is extremely anxious person who yells at me for everything and if I dont get the job done he freaks out on me. He makes not only me crazy but the whole office. His job is his life.
Thats where all the anxiety lies..
I think you are right though. Thanks for the advice

Hi

That's tough working for your father if he's like that. Just do the best you can. Work by your own work standards. I'm sure that you are a good worker and do things well at work. Your father's anxious ways are his and not yours. You don't need to adopt another person's unreasonable expectations, because that is "his world" not yours. Expect the best from yourself and forget about what others think of you. Don't let someone dictate to you how things "should be" and "shouldn't be". Your father views work differently than you and that's ok. Accept him for who he is and know that you operate differently when it comes to work. There is nothing wrong with that. As long as your satisfied at the end of the day and you did the best that you could, that's all that matters.
