Working from home all the time is more anxiety inducing. You are never able to disconnect from work. You look at your laptop, and get reminders of all the issues, pending actions, project delays etc
I work from home and disconnect just fine. Just keep your laptop at a work station and only use that station when you are working. Don’t take it where you enjoy life.
Working with people has to be the most stressful thing. I’m a nail tech. My stomach hurts all day bc of my anxiety! I literally felt like quitting every day bc of it. Doesn’t matter how good I am at it.
Same thought.A lot people don’t hate jobs.And why can’t I doing this.I have something like job depression. When I don’t need to work,always happy. I feel like don’t want to live when I work for longtime.
1. The day will end 2. Will it bother me in 6,8,10,hrs, in 6 days, in 6 years..? 3. It doesn't bother me. 4. Support system helps get rid of work related worry 5. Most of us are introspective, responsible,self reflective, what is has brought me this far? Is anxiety driving me to do better?
Honestly, No.2 is actually what makes me anxious at work. One small career misstep/ layoff/shenanigan could actually affect the long term career trajectory.
I have ruined countless opportunities because I’m terrified to go to work. I can work for myself no problem ( DoorDash, Uber) but when it comes to groups of people I lose faith in myself. Hopefully it can change because I want more for myself…
Thank you for this Bryan. I have noticed working from home I have less anxiety although I tend to work late. However working at the office actually gives me more anxiety. I like how you said, "today will end", because this too shall pass. That helps me a lot.
As a teen working in the restaurant industry for about 5 months now, I still do get anxious going into work day in and day out, this video has definitely helped me with my thought process, thank you 🙏
Sending hugs. I can totally relate to you about being a perfectionist, introverted, responsible, etc. I'm glad to know that I am not alone. It's a Sunday evening today and I am getting anxious again for tomorrow's work. Your video helped me feel at ease right now. Thank you.
Right! I am glad other people are mentioning this. I don't feel so alone and maybe others at my job might feel the same way.@@lib.777 I usually can't sleep on sunday night knowing I have to be at work the next day.
I feel work related anxiety every single day due to the HIGH pressure nature of my job with so much responsibilities. Work never ends and my brain cannot stop thinking about the million tasks in hand, strict deadlines to meet, etc. Your video is helpful
As someone who spent most of my life battling anxiety how did it not occur to me that my feelings at work are simply another manifestation of my anxiety!!!!
Just started my second job ever at 18 I’m about to have my third day tomorrow. My first job was so traumatic because my boss was extremely verbally abusive and had explosive anger. Also being the youngest and ONLY female worker at 17 I lasted three months everyday I’d finish a shift I’d already be worrying about the next one. So after three months I quit one day. Then over a span of 9 months in 2022 I worked 4 trial shifts at 3 different restaurants and a carnival. Every single 4 of those trial shifts had me traumatised. I left every single one crying and feeling stupid. I felt like I was going insane to be that unlucky to encounter such toxic work environments. I was either not being trained properly or being yelled at even if it was my first day. It was horrible especially since I was already overwhelmed being there in the first place. But now I work at a nursing home cleaning and mopping floors. I was having really bad anxiety before bed but now that I’ve watched this video I feel so much more clam. Even tho the job itself isn’t hard it’s just a lot to remember and especially since my boss isn’t even in the same town. I also have no schedule to go off and get lost often since the place is so big. But it’s been a lot better than all of my other experiences and I’m so happy to have a job again. Update the boss moved me to another nursing home to clean and I hate it I feel so unsupported and uncomfortable Update 2 Been moved again, the staff here are actually really friendly. Everyone is pleased with my work but I’m constantly having issues with one of the resident’s family. she is not happy with how I’m cleaning her mum’s room. I know I’m a good worker and I act like I’m being paid 100 a hr to clean this room everyday. But yet her daughter still continues to negatively speak of me. I understand you can’t please everyone in this world and criticism is good however her delivery is very harsh and degrading. Honestly makes me panic and dread while I’m at work. I don’t know what to do anymore, this makes me want to quit and start all over when I just got comfortable.
@@__hazelnut Not much has changed I’ve still been cleaning the room. I’m trying to be more firm with her and stand my ground tho lol. Got work tomorrow feeling nervous again not sure if I’ll end up going because my boss hasn’t paid me for last week. He’s got a bad habit of paying late but it only seems to be me he pays late with. I’ve told him multiple times abt this it’s seriously unprofessional, I won’t show up to work if I’m late on payments from LAST week…
For me it's the possibility that i might fail at the task i was given by the boss or not do it properly, then promptly getting my ass chewed out that causes the anxiety lol

omg thank you so much for speaking about this topic. every single you mention about the characteristics of work anxiety and the type of people then tend to have it is basically me. i went to work with the extremely fast heart beat every morning and sometimes even cried before working. but once the work started then im just too focused too feel anything. always thought something is wrong with me, alone, as a person.
Thanks for this video. I’m 17 and working at a part time job at a supermarket, and even though I can’t put my finger on it just having the job makes me nervous. Maybe it’s the commitment or the anticipation of the next shift? It’s probably the best job I can get in town, I just feel dread towards it
Hey Bryan I just started my first job in March after graduation and have been feeling anxiety and overwhelmed with work and pressure.(eventually bleeding over to my personal time off work).

Thank you for this. I have anxiety every Sunday night and Monday morning. The anxiety is the unknown. And thinking " ohh is this task going to be difficult" plus I don't have work mates as I work for someone but that's all.
Just graduated from a performing arts degree and I’m having to find a daily job to support my performance career even thought I really don’t want to and all jobs I’ve done I’ve had such intense anxiety in and I haven’t worked in a year. I’m so anxious and even after applying for jobs I am already 10 steps ahead and worrying about what will happen if I get it. This video has helped bring me back down a bit and I appreciate how straight and direct it is. Just stating facts. I’m hoping this can help me x
Everything you said is me…. I was so excited to promote into a different position , even though I knew that my anxiety was going to run ramped , but now after 2 weeks my anxiety is hitting hard and fast, I am depressed from it,, questioning myself and by abilities. Deep down I know it will be fine,, but when your beggared, fingers pointing in all directions at you ,, thinking you had a great day and then emails coming later saying different… it all just sucks for someone who is a perfectionist
I’m having that issue to on a Friday night all because I promised my dad’s friend who is my coworker that I’ll make a purchase order for his item though I had no direct link with the project 😂
I am so anxious to interview for a job this June. I was offered a great job a few weeks ago and had a full blown panic attack over it because I don't want responsibility and to be tied down, but that's life, isn't it? Everyone does it. Why can't I just do it without all this anxiety like everyone else? I declined the job offer, and I've hated myself ever since.
Thank you for reminding me to be anxious for nothing but to ask God about everything. That does put the focus back on Him instead of being centered on self.
I’m responsible for taking care of others. I’ve been at this job for 4 years. Currently going to school for another subject. In the mean time I’m here and I think I should leave even though I want to stay. Every Sunday I think of something wrong with myself. I overthink before I go to bed. I’m trying my best to think positive because most of the time days at work are good beside the stress
I have anxiety so bad I can’t sleep I work from home hate boss and coworkers :/ I shake I’m weak I literally can’t walk I feel. 350 years old but only 25
Bottom line....yes we will all die some day. So WHY be anxious about something. Everything is a lot SMALLER than we make it. Think ofba time you were anxious and Everything turned out ok. It will turn out ok aging and you will be kicking yourself because you were getting anxious for no reason. 😊 bont sweat the small stuff!!
Great video. I work at a bank and my manager is very passive aggressive. When she smiles you can just tell its forced and she does not mean it. IDK working for her is giving me anxiety especially since we're on webcam all day and they can literally be observing you while you're doing you duties. Kinda shitty environment.
holy shit great video, i relate to EVERYTHING you say. + it's so painful to be given shared responsibility when you have to depend on someone who's the opposite of you (last minute, cbf)
you could also choose to actually deal with being a perfectionist. accept that you dont need to be perfect and that you can make mistakes while still striving to do the best you can
Thank you for this, I'm a teen and I've applied to volunteer at the hospital and now I have a place, and I'm super scared because I feel like there's so much responsibility and people are relying on me, and if I mess up then people will get mad at me. I think I have a fear of people being angry and disappointed in me, which is what's making me so stressed. I always have this feeling of stress before first days or in places where there is responsibility, but you worded it well in the fact that I should just accept it. I'll be working for the majority of my life so I should just get good at my craft and try to not panic so much haha
This video has actual helped me a lot. Thinking about how what you’re worrying (a job) is going to be over at the end of the day and that you shouldn’t let it eat you up because it’s not going to matter in the end.
I have been working for 7 years going on my 8th year since uni and have continuously battled with varying levels of work anxiety. I work as a doctor and it's always intense, and I find that no matter how many years of experience I accumulate, I still find myself getting anxious. I am always like "I want to go home" when Im still brushing my teeth and have not even left the house yet. I do notice that it is usually if I know I have something hard or annoying the next day
And furthermore, think of things you could be more thankful and grateful for in your life than think of the worst things that "may" happen. Like Bryan said, the day WILL end. Thats for certain.
i concur and totally shared the same sentiment. gosh, I feel like we could be good friends. I had the same thought process about how death is inevitable, and one day all these won't matter because it shall and will pass. We will only wished we spent more time with our loved ones and family and not to work more on our death bed.
im not that anxious about work but sometimes it’s just get hard, especially since it’s my first job, this video helped. so many of us feel the same way
Got so much more from this video than I could have hoped when clicking on the thumbnail. Have SUCH a similar experience in my day to day. Thanks for sharing!
I always get anxiety, when entering people's homes. I fix appliances and well most people are OK, a lot of them, be questioning you, I hated it. I'm so happy I quit there.
1.accept the fact that anxiety is always with us 2.tell yourself the trouble will end from a future prospective 3. just take action to get things done 4.turn anxiety into a positive motivation
This might be helpful to some so I'm sharing it here. Think of anxiety as a more unpredictable and longer lasting type of fear. Fear is future based and relief of forethought to be brought into being. You can easily prove this to yourself by trying to fear something that has happened in the past... something that really scared you and had you fearing in the moment it happened - try it. Well, chances are you can't put yourself in the same fearful state again. So just know that fear is future based. Picture it like this - when something of high importance is about to happen to you, and the outcome of it is uncertain, your awareness projects itself into a future where the worst likely scenario has happened. The mind takes that feeling of the worst outcome, and then goes back to the present and manifests that feeling in you. That's the process of fear. Knowing this will already put you miles ahead of anyone else :) Now, to easiest thing you can do to eliminate the fear is to not let your awareness go into the future to paint that FALSE picture. That is, do this only if you're certain that the thing you're fearing is just your minds made up BS, like stressing over a presentation or important confrontation. Tell yourself "I'm alright right now." - this keeps you in the now and brings you back to reality. Hope this helps yall :)
I recently joined the Butchery team on my local supermarket. I have 0 experience and I’m constantly feeling anxious and depressed. I need the money at the end of the month. Everyday at work i’m standing up for 8 hours, with a small stop for launch at the middle of the day. I feel constant pressure, constant fear, anxiety…. I couldn’t find anything better to do a full time, and now i feel really down. Like a failure who wasn’t good enough to get a job that i studied and worked out. I have constant bad thoughts too, but luckily i have someone to fight for, and im trying my best to stay afloat…
Yeah and people think we are lazy... I want to work I actually like working I feel productive but I get so anxious it's terrible terrible. I am actually working started last week and it's just horrible. I can't I just feel like I can't but if I quit I let everybody down and of course money doesn't just falls on my hand
I am in charge of a lot of people in a super crazy, fast-paced environment. I am great at doing all of my tasks and the high-level responsibilities I have, but the hard part is PEOPLE. Managing people is where I get so anxious. Employees are frequently upset about something (both inside and outside of work), they often don’t get along with each other, they complain to me about each other. Even best friends at work will come to me to complain about their workplace “best friend”. People want me to really go after their coworkers for trivial reasons. I swear I just want to retire. I can barely stand to set foot into work sometimes.
Hi watched your video, work with special ed kids which i absolutely love! Just dealing with a very bad coworker who thinks they are above everyone else. And we are peons.takes charge of everything that's not there job. So Sunday night I get stressed out about work. I don't want this to bother me anymore.
I have acknowledged that I have severe anxiety and depression from past work, so I left and give myself months to recover and gain back my confidence for works and so I went to interview and lucky enough I got a new job and just started lately. But then I found out I have anxiety to work everyday and keep counting down till day off. And now I realised that this "ergophobia". How to overcome this completely? Because it is bothering me badly
Im a server at a crappy restaurant and the fact that I am not given the proper tools I need to even do my job causes great anxiety. Example: We dont have a till so if anyone pays for dinner in cash I have to bring my own change, our pos system devices have a problem where you cant see half of the printed receipt so I have to use a device really far away from my station to print stuff, my section is really big aka i have to serve the entire dining room and its too much for one person, our CO2 system is broken aka no beer on tap and no soda aside from 2 liters...Im also the bartender for the entire restaurant and I just want to cry.
Thanks I needed this.. just had a new client saying something like: "Oh yeah, we need critics on our videos and stuff. It's always good to hear what you think!" and the sec. right after I said what I think he's like: "We do this for many years now and I hate to tell people why we do this and that. I don't like to justify everything!" .. and I'm like .. Bro you asked for it.. and at the same time I constantly think I did something horrobly wrong.. so yeah.. it triggered my anxiety way to much... your reminded me of my favorite thought.. "We all gonna die someday." So who gives a f***?.. anyway .. you gained a sub here! Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bro! :)
im anxious to the point where it makes my entire body lock up. I am working on my thesis, which is supposed to be the most important thing i ever will produce. All last semester, i could not focus. I'm in therapy now. I'm trying to take the steps to better myself. I have barely accomplished anything for 6 weeks. I have 7 weeks to catch up. I'm terrified. I feel useless. Every time i sit down to work and i have the project right there in my face my mind goes blank, I shake, I can't think. I'm going to end up ruining my life. I'm at the finish line, only 3 classes left to finish and I will graduate. I am mortified. I went to a job fair. It went well. I'm terrified to follow up and email any of these firms because i cant focus on school. I feel like im going to fail i dont want to display that failure to potential employers.
Sitting here before my second day at a new job and looking for some help and you say “we’re all gonna day”. I’m just dying laughing. You’re so right. Thank you
ok now take all this you said and apply it to call center tech support with minimal tools of information, no training really ahead of time (literally 30 minutes sometimes), high expectations on every call and any call can cost you your job. Makes silly projects seem like a damn vacation.
the only channel that I can watch without even a planned agenda, it's like one subject header and the rest are bryan's thoughts that are hilarious. the soy sauce comment made my day
Success means nothing if you’re so anxious you can’t bond with the ppl around you. I’m sick of drinking on the job to be social. I’d gladly sacrifice some of my productivity because at this point it’s all I have
You summed up the personality of people having work anxiety very well ...i am just a copy of that.. overthinker responsible perfectionist and as you said anxiety is just a toping ... could you please elaborate more how did you turn your anxiety into positive driving factor because for me anxiety sucks ..there is no fun in staying awake late night and worry ...
Its just not limited to the thoughts Its very bad physically too...I cant move and it start every night then mornings are worse and to me there is no solution...
i'm working in retail and i've been here for just under a month. my shift leader yesterday asked me to try and start working a little faster i usually do and i'm afraid that I can't get better. i'm afraid i'll keep working at my current pace and be a disappointment to the team. i'm afraid that i'm not food enough
Thank you for making this video. I generally have bad anxiety anyways and then I had to contend with a Morgan Stanley interview recently. I don’t know how I managed to do it without fainting or passing out.
It all stems from being in a job that does not align with you emotional and intellectual needs. The universe is telling you to get another job that is better suited for you
I got suspended from work for 2 years bcoz of my anxiety...jus recently work call me to get back to work...im kinda having this mix feeling...i wana work..also anxious at same time..y i cant b normal like d others....this stressing me out
Someone went to a Dr. He said, "Doc im really depressed and have anxiety when I'm at home and its worse when I'm at work. Can you prescribe me some medication?" The Dr. replied, "Have you considered that you feel this way because you're surrounded by assholes at work?"
Very solid video with many great points. My only critique is that it seems like there are a few too many cuts. Nonetheless, this video helped me a lot!
I have really bad anxiety and I am a stripper so I know my shift will end eventually but if I don’t talk to people then I won’t make them money. I am working very very hard to get out of dancing and become a nurse. I have no problem talking to patients during clinicals but when it comes to stripping my brain just explodes. I can’t be the only one because tick-tock has such a disturbed reality that stripping it is so easy. I wonder if people would enjoy that I make anxious stripper content? Also I don’t want to get kicked out of nursing school if they found out I was a stripper. Anybody have any thoughts?

I was so excited to promote into a different position , even though I knew that my anxiety was going to run ramped , but now after 2 weeks my anxiety is hitting hard and fast, I am depressed from it,, questioning myself and by abilities. Deep down I know it will be fine,, but when your beggared, fingers pointing in all directions at you ,, thinking you had a great day and then emails coming later saying different… it all just sucks for someone who is a perfectionist
Same here, and struggling. How did yours work out?
I thought I was the only one suffering with palpitations during work.
Nah its everyone
Anxious on a Friday night with the crazy week I’ve had. Thank you sir for being my source of comfort and helping me
I’m having that issue to on a Friday night all because I promised my dad’s friend who is my coworker that I’ll make a purchase order for his item though I had no direct link with the project 😂
I just eliminated mine too. I quit my job and now I’ll look for a better one where my boss isn’t an a-hole 😃
I am so anxious to interview for a job this June. I was offered a great job a few weeks ago and had a full blown panic attack over it because I don't want responsibility and to be tied down, but that's life, isn't it? Everyone does it. Why can't I just do it without all this anxiety like everyone else? I declined the job offer, and I've hated myself ever since.
Don't hate yourself. Let go.. trust on the path and the right things will come.
Jobs are miserable,but I have to work due to the lack of money.
Thank you for reminding me to be anxious for nothing but to ask God about everything. That does put the focus back on Him instead of being centered on self.
I love the “6 hrs./days/weeks/months/years” idea. Never looked at it that way!
I actually forgot who first told me to this
I’m responsible for taking care of others. I’ve been at this job for 4 years. Currently going to school for another subject. In the mean time I’m here and I think I should leave even though I want to stay. Every Sunday I think of something wrong with myself. I overthink before I go to bed. I’m trying my best to think positive because most of the time days at work are good beside the stress
I have anxiety so bad I can’t sleep
I work from home hate boss and coworkers :/
I shake I’m weak I literally can’t walk I feel. 350 years old but only 25
try going to church
Bottom line....yes we will all die some day. So WHY be anxious about something. Everything is a lot SMALLER than we make it. Think ofba time you were anxious and Everything turned out ok. It will turn out ok aging and you will be kicking yourself because you were getting anxious for no reason. 😊 bont sweat the small stuff!!
Great video. I work at a bank and my manager is very passive aggressive. When she smiles you can just tell its forced and she does not mean it. IDK working for her is giving me anxiety especially since we're on webcam all day and they can literally be observing you while you're doing you duties. Kinda shitty environment.
holy shit great video, i relate to EVERYTHING you say. + it's so painful to be given shared responsibility when you have to depend on someone who's the opposite of you (last minute, cbf)
glad this was gooooood
Bingo! You hit the nail on the head with this. Thanks for the insight!
You got it!
This video and message could not come at a better time. Thank you Bryan!
happy I can help in any way!
you could also choose to actually deal with being a perfectionist. accept that you dont need to be perfect and that you can make mistakes while still striving to do the best you can
facts
Working from home helped my work anxiety. I go into the office occasionally now when I need to or want to come in for a change of pace.
work from home def has its perks
Lucky I applied at many remote jobs and no luck 😮💨.
Thank you for this, I'm a teen and I've applied to volunteer at the hospital and now I have a place, and I'm super scared because I feel like there's so much responsibility and people are relying on me, and if I mess up then people will get mad at me. I think I have a fear of people being angry and disappointed in me, which is what's making me so stressed. I always have this feeling of stress before first days or in places where there is responsibility, but you worded it well in the fact that I should just accept it. I'll be working for the majority of my life so I should just get good at my craft and try to not panic so much haha
Youll be fine just take it one day at a tie
This video has actual helped me a lot. Thinking about how what you’re worrying (a job) is going to be over at the end of the day and that you shouldn’t let it eat you up because it’s not going to matter in the end.
Glad this helped
I have been working for 7 years going on my 8th year since uni and have continuously battled with varying levels of work anxiety. I work as a doctor and it's always intense, and I find that no matter how many years of experience I accumulate, I still find myself getting anxious. I am always like "I want to go home" when Im still brushing my teeth and have not even left the house yet. I do notice that it is usually if I know I have something hard or annoying the next day
This was so helpful for me on a Monday morning, thank you so much
I'm so glad!
And furthermore, think of things you could be more thankful and grateful for in your life than think of the worst things that "may" happen. Like Bryan said, the day WILL end. Thats for certain.
Agreeeeed
i concur and totally shared the same sentiment. gosh, I feel like we could be good friends. I had the same thought process about how death is inevitable, and one day all these won't matter because it shall and will pass. We will only wished we spent more time with our loved ones and family and not to work more on our death bed.
too many thoughts such little time
No because what if after death I can spend time lol
didn’t know other people felt this to the depth that i do. Thank you for making this video 💙
im not that anxious about work but sometimes it’s just get hard, especially since it’s my first job, this video helped.
so many of us feel the same way
Got so much more from this video than I could have hoped when clicking on the thumbnail. Have SUCH a similar experience in my day to day. Thanks for sharing!
hope it helped!
I always get anxiety, when entering people's homes. I fix appliances and well most people are OK, a lot of them, be questioning you, I hated it. I'm so happy I quit there.
What if they do something at work, or say and you re stuck with that anxiety after work and get burned out
1.accept the fact that anxiety is always with us
2.tell yourself the trouble will end from a future prospective
3. just take action to get things done
4.turn anxiety into a positive motivation
This might be helpful to some so I'm sharing it here. Think of anxiety as a more unpredictable and longer lasting type of fear. Fear is future based and relief of forethought to be brought into being. You can easily prove this to yourself by trying to fear something that has happened in the past... something that really scared you and had you fearing in the moment it happened - try it. Well, chances are you can't put yourself in the same fearful state again. So just know that fear is future based. Picture it like this - when something of high importance is about to happen to you, and the outcome of it is uncertain, your awareness projects itself into a future where the worst likely scenario has happened. The mind takes that feeling of the worst outcome, and then goes back to the present and manifests that feeling in you. That's the process of fear. Knowing this will already put you miles ahead of anyone else :)
Now, to easiest thing you can do to eliminate the fear is to not let your awareness go into the future to paint that FALSE picture. That is, do this only if you're certain that the thing you're fearing is just your minds made up BS, like stressing over a presentation or important confrontation. Tell yourself "I'm alright right now." - this keeps you in the now and brings you back to reality.
Hope this helps yall :)
quite helpful
Bro I was so depressed at work. This makes so much sense.
I recently joined the Butchery team on my local supermarket. I have 0 experience and I’m constantly feeling anxious and depressed. I need the money at the end of the month. Everyday at work i’m standing up for 8 hours, with a small stop for launch at the middle of the day. I feel constant pressure, constant fear, anxiety…. I couldn’t find anything better to do a full time, and now i feel really down. Like a failure who wasn’t good enough to get a job that i studied and worked out. I have constant bad thoughts too, but luckily i have someone to fight for, and im trying my best to stay afloat…
Keep going bro I believe in you and we must stay strong💪
Yeah and people think we are lazy... I want to work I actually like working I feel productive but I get so anxious it's terrible terrible. I am actually working started last week and it's just horrible. I can't I just feel like I can't but if I quit I let everybody down and of course money doesn't just falls on my hand
it's hard to be anxious and lazy i think
This is definitely something I needed to hear. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Working from home minimised my work anxiety, never ever want to go back to office full time
LOL i have mixed feelings about wfh
I hate it man got to start a new job and I'm being sick and can't control my breathing
same bro ...
I am in charge of a lot of people in a super crazy, fast-paced environment. I am great at doing all of my tasks and the high-level responsibilities I have, but the hard part is PEOPLE. Managing people is where I get so anxious. Employees are frequently upset about something (both inside and outside of work), they often don’t get along with each other, they complain to me about each other. Even best friends at work will come to me to complain about their workplace “best friend”. People want me to really go after their coworkers for trivial reasons. I swear I just want to retire. I can barely stand to set foot into work sometimes.
FIRE
Thank you so much this was very helpful!
I try!!!!
Thanks for the great video Bryan. You actually motivated me to start my own. Thanks again man :)
Hi watched your video, work with special ed kids which i absolutely love! Just dealing with a very bad coworker who thinks they are above everyone else. And we are peons.takes charge of everything that's not there job. So Sunday night I get stressed out about work. I don't want this to bother me anymore.
thanks for your meaningful work!!
I have acknowledged that I have severe anxiety and depression from past work, so I left and give myself months to recover and gain back my confidence for works and so I went to interview and lucky enough I got a new job and just started lately. But then I found out I have anxiety to work everyday and keep counting down till day off. And now I realised that this "ergophobia". How to overcome this completely? Because it is bothering me badly
Oh my. Thank you. I needed this
Glad it helped
Im a server at a crappy restaurant and the fact that I am not given the proper tools I need to even do my job causes great anxiety. Example: We dont have a till so if anyone pays for dinner in cash I have to bring my own change, our pos system devices have a problem where you cant see half of the printed receipt so I have to use a device really far away from my station to print stuff, my section is really big aka i have to serve the entire dining room and its too much for one person, our CO2 system is broken aka no beer on tap and no soda aside from 2 liters...Im also the bartender for the entire restaurant and I just want to cry.
And to people around us its very hard to explain...and then comes judgements...which is so depressing..I am not capable of handling it its life taking
High functioning anxiety has made me successful but also has its cons of course!
huge facts
Thanks I needed this.. just had a new client saying something like: "Oh yeah, we need critics on our videos and stuff. It's always good to hear what you think!" and the sec. right after I said what I think he's like: "We do this for many years now and I hate to tell people why we do this and that. I don't like to justify everything!" .. and I'm like .. Bro you asked for it.. and at the same time I constantly think I did something horrobly wrong.. so yeah.. it triggered my anxiety way to much... your reminded me of my favorite thought.. "We all gonna die someday." So who gives a f***?..
anyway ..
you gained a sub here!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Bro! :)
thanks for watching!!
im anxious to the point where it makes my entire body lock up. I am working on my thesis, which is supposed to be the most important thing i ever will produce. All last semester, i could not focus. I'm in therapy now. I'm trying to take the steps to better myself. I have barely accomplished anything for 6 weeks. I have 7 weeks to catch up. I'm terrified. I feel useless. Every time i sit down to work and i have the project right there in my face my mind goes blank, I shake, I can't think. I'm going to end up ruining my life. I'm at the finish line, only 3 classes left to finish and I will graduate. I am mortified. I went to a job fair. It went well. I'm terrified to follow up and email any of these firms because i cant focus on school. I feel like im going to fail i dont want to display that failure to potential employers.
This is like watching a Max Headroom video. The amount of cuts on this video is mind boggling. But at some point this video will end.
HAHAH
Sitting here before my second day at a new job and looking for some help and you say “we’re all gonna day”. I’m just dying laughing. You’re so right. Thank you
LOL its just facts glad you found it funny
ok now take all this you said
and apply it to call center tech support with minimal tools of information, no training really ahead of time (literally 30 minutes sometimes), high expectations on every call and any call can cost you your job.
Makes silly projects seem like a damn vacation.
Subbed, I needed this
welcome welcome
the only channel that I can watch without even a planned agenda, it's like one subject header and the rest are bryan's thoughts that are hilarious. the soy sauce comment made my day
HAHA thanks!!
I love your videos man - every single video teaches me so much. Keep up the great content Bryan!
thanks so much!
Success means nothing if you’re so anxious you can’t bond with the ppl around you. I’m sick of drinking on the job to be social. I’d gladly sacrifice some of my productivity because at this point it’s all I have
Truth
I feel like that sometimes ty for making this video
Thank you for this Bryan
Happy it helped
You summed up the personality of people having work anxiety very well ...i am just a copy of that.. overthinker responsible perfectionist and as you said anxiety is just a toping ... could you please elaborate more how did you turn your anxiety into positive driving factor because for me anxiety sucks ..there is no fun in staying awake late night and worry ...
Its just not limited to the thoughts Its very bad physically too...I cant move and it start every night then mornings are worse and to me there is no solution...
I once saw a guy so stressed out during a briefing that he passed out in his chair.
:(
i'm working in retail and i've been here for just under a month. my shift leader yesterday asked me to try and start working a little faster i usually do and i'm afraid that I can't get better. i'm afraid i'll keep working at my current pace and be a disappointment to the team. i'm afraid that i'm not food enough
You saying work anxiety so many times is literally giving me work anxiety
Thank you for making this video. I generally have bad anxiety anyways and then I had to contend with a Morgan Stanley interview recently. I don’t know how I managed to do it without fainting or passing out.
good to hear you worked through it!
Thanks....please keep uploading videos😁
Always!
It all stems from being in a job that does not align with you emotional and intellectual needs. The universe is telling you to get another job that is better suited for you
What about health anxiety? Or being alone at your job? I work at a hotel.
ahh those are tough too
I felt myself in this video, got the same way of dealing with it. Love the conclusion, it's going to stay with you anyway 😂
thanks much!!
I got suspended from work for 2 years bcoz of my anxiety...jus recently work call me to get back to work...im kinda having this mix feeling...i wana work..also anxious at same time..y i cant b normal like d others....this stressing me out
Someone went to a Dr. He said, "Doc im really depressed and have anxiety when I'm at home and its worse when I'm at work. Can you prescribe me some medication?"
The Dr. replied, "Have you considered that you feel this way because you're surrounded by assholes at work?"
I’ve been an electrician for 22 years and I’m still full of anxiety some days. I panic I will run out of time to complete a project
Very solid video with many great points. My only critique is that it seems like there are a few too many cuts. Nonetheless, this video helped me a lot!
no more cuts!
I feel so much more anxious now, thank you.
ah im sorry was not the intention
It's very weird but wen I'm over anxious..I jus tell myself I'm gonna die one day anyway
in a weird way that comforts me sometimes too
I have anxiety I work as a cleaner at care home I've been working there almost 10months but still have it I prefer to not socialise
Anxiety is the Spirit yearning to be Free.
So glad you mentioned Christianity. I'm walking with Christ and still dealing with it
good stuff I'll pray for you
Loved this as well!
The speed of your speech and the manner how this is being delivered actually makes me anxious..
ahahah I'll talk slower
Probably done on purpose because anxiety makes you do that when you’re at work. Talking about it be making the anxiety come out too.
Seriously? 🙄 get a helmet! He did well in his delivery.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much for this video
Master Bryan sharing his guru powers
GU RU
I have really bad anxiety and I am a stripper so I know my shift will end eventually but if I don’t talk to people then I won’t make them money. I am working very very hard to get out of dancing and become a nurse. I have no problem talking to patients during clinicals but when it comes to stripping my brain just explodes. I can’t be the only one because tick-tock has such a disturbed reality that stripping it is so easy. I wonder if people would enjoy that I make anxious stripper content? Also I don’t want to get kicked out of nursing school if they found out I was a stripper. Anybody have any thoughts?
