Anxiety, lack of confidence
Hi, I have been facing this concern since many years now. I always get these panic attacks whenever I'm facing an interview, new cases, despite being in this profession for over 8 years. I always have this fear of being not good enough and that people would think that I'm bad at my job. Also, it feels that what I do is not material and meaningless. This was not the case in initial years as i used to take a lot of pride in my work. Ultimately the anxiety is getting reflected in my output, as I have got negative feedback about my work as well as attitude. It is raising insecurities about future as I'm always worried about post retirement or what would happen if I loose my job. It is also affecting my personal relationships. Despite knowing that I'm lacking on some aspects, I'm not taking any corrective measures. I took 15 days off from my job as I dread going office. All I did in these 15 days was stayed in bed and avoid human interaction. Seems I have lost ability to think straight.

Perormance anxiety Hi, this more of performance anxiety and authority fear. Performance anxiety happens as a result of too much interpretation of results and future. So a person stops focusing on performance and starts thinking about end result. Then ends up in more anxiety and gets stuck in the cycle. Also the physiological changes are so dominating that we are sometimes unable to refocus our thoughts. The action plan of a person has to be 1) Finding out the emotional hurdles 2) disconnecting interpretation of bodily sensation 3) Performing exercises that converts your nervousness to confidence. 4) For authority related fear we use gestalt Therapy 5) REBT for Shame related issues.An integrative approach will always help.
