How can I stop imminent redundancy triggering of anxiety aga

Post by pearpickinporky » Sat Feb 26, 2011 3:33 am

I've hated my job as long as i've had it (5 years) My boss is a really horrible man so this is for the best but the one thing that worries me over anything else is my anxiety coming back full force.

Last time I was made redundant thats what triggered my anxiety problems, I started of with depression, this then progressed onto generalised anxiety and panic attacks, then onto agoraphobia and social anxiety over the space of the 2 years I was unemployed, even when I found employment again it was a good 12 months before I got my head sorted out and even now I still have social anxiety which is why I've never really fitted into my current job.

So as I say, this is what worries me most, how can I minimise the impact? and not let things get out of hand again?

Welcome, I'm not sure what redundancy means. Is it a term of your locale?

As for the job is there away you can start networking your talents in find other employment. The conditions you describe can be very demoralizing to the self estem dept.

Yes being made redundant means getting your employment terminated as your are no longer needed

Pear, just as I thought, that it was a term used for not having work. Since I basically know what redundant means, Whatif.

I can understand completely why that would be stressful. Not knowing that you are going to be making a livelihood can be stressful.
