I have fairly severe anxiety which is contributing to high blood pressure. I've seen a GP who referred me for online counselling which TBH didn't have much impact. I'm trying to address the anxiety in a number of different ways.
I work in the events industry so we're just starting to gear up again. It's a nice creative job but quite stressful at times and I job share a management role with an excellent woman. On the one hand my anxiety actually helps me plan ahead for business continuity (because I can be relied upon to envisage various disasters and consider the various angles) but on the other hand I am working a fair bit of unpaid overtime sorting stuff out for covid and also emailing staff (and I might have texted a couple out of hours, I know I know) because I am fretting about the events the following day and spotting issues that haven't been addressed.(Not at the level of the toilet running out of paper, but that the catering hasn't been booked or one of the venues has closed/ deposit not been paid / materials not ordered type of thing).
I'm worried that my anxiety is ultimately going to piss off my colleagues. I'm working really hard to get things sorted but I can't just leave stuff and keep my fingers crossed.
Can anyone offer any advice on managing anxiety at work? Either as a manager of people or from personal experience etc?
