I'm not young, I have work experience but nothing in my current position. Before starting, company promised they will sponsor my visa after graduating so they assigned me to a big project. I'm few weeks in and overwhelmed, and too stressed to function. Language is draining my energy too.

Maybe to some people it's not that difficult, but to me I'm dying everyday trying to get some work done. The work I produce is not up to their standards too. It's beyond my capability, but they expect more coz of my age and major. By next month I will need to pitch this project. I can't present without trembling. I'm terrified.

Anyway, i declared this job in immigration. Did anyone of you had experience of ending the internship early? It's just called internship but the job scope is definitely not.

I've enjoyed my intensive Korean language classes, but working in a fully Korean environment sucks all the energy out of me lol I'm not fluent in Korean, I have Topik 5 but probably at best my speaking skill is at level 3/4

I don't understand many of the businesses terms and it spikes my anxiety due to uncertainty on things 🥲 My job in overseas sales is fine coz it's in English but instructions, meetings and other company stuff is in Korean.

Does it get better? Anyone here experienced the same thing? What did you do to overcome it?

considering our age, anong mas pipiliin mo?

what are some tools i can utilize to make work a bit easier? tasks like lead generation, checking market trends and research, brainstorming for projects, etc.

any tips is appreciated!

huhu does it really get better?

I've been introvert and anxious all my life, yung tipong nagtatago sa kwarto until makalayas yung mga bisita sa bahay. Never ako nag volunteer to answer in class, di makapag salita ng diretso without my voice cracking. Di makapag explain ng maayos nang walang paligoy ligoy. Yung career ko di nag grow coz I always settled for lower positions, avoided industries na nakikipag interact sa mga clients so mostly NGOs experience ko.

So for the past 3~4 years I've been trying to improve myself. I'm consistently doing talk therapy with my psychologist. I have inattentive adhd and anxiety pero life must go on diba? I moved overseas, took MBA, and applied for a position in sales kahit ayaw ko (di pa ako ready bumalik ng pinas). Now I'm constantly terrified to go to work, and handle projects. I'm also scheduled to do a pitch presentation in few months for a government funding project. I've never presented anything before for my work. I'm constantly anxious even during my day offs. Money does not motivate me. I hate quitting early.

I don't have friends here around the same age, kaya I want advices from kapwa millennials. How do you build confidence? Especially when you are surrounded by extroverts and smart people? May experience ba kayo na ganito? huhu Monday na naman bukasssssss

My psychologist is out of reach for the past few months, so please try to be nice coz I'm highly sensitive now :(

tldr: I just started a new job and I'm having anxiety attacks that it's manifesting physically (nauseous, brain fog, felt like throwing up, migraine) today was my first day!!!

I'm living alone overseas, I'm currently juggling MBA and a new job that I don't have experience (sales and marketing) and in a language that is not English. The day I did the interview and today, my first day, I've been having anxiety attacks. I'm not confident, super introvert, and not fluent in their language so I'm suprised I got this position lol I've been trying to calm my self, deep breathing, long walks ganun pero ayaw parin kumalma ng puso ko 😂

Mga beh alam ko it takes time to adjust, pero do you have tips to atleast manage my time well? Any productivity tips? I'm slow to pick up instructions too (i have adhd) so may mga hacks ba kayo diyan? This anxiety is triggered because of uncertainty. My team is very new kaya wala pang structure. Any work/life tips is welcomed!! Wala kasi akong makausap dito so need ng virtual support hehe
