Hi everyone,
I’ve been struggling lately with work and my mental state, and I’m not sure how to handle it.
There’s constant pressure from my manager to get things done quickly, and if something goes wrong, the urgency increases even more. It feels like I’m always rushing and never fully focused.
My team lead is actually a good person, but I have this fear of asking questions. I keep thinking they’ll judge me or think I don’t know what I’m doing, so I avoid asking and try to figure everything out myself. This ends up slowing me down and making me more stressed.
I also work from home and have family responsibilities, which makes it harder to stay focused. My attention gets pulled in different directions, and I get distracted easily (like watching YouTube), which makes me feel worse about my productivity.
Lately I’ve been feeling:
- low energy most of the day
- not enjoying things I used to
- mentally drained and overwhelmed
- avoiding work and communication
I feel stuck in this cycle and my confidence has dropped a lot.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
How do you deal with:
- fear of asking questions at work
- constant pressure
- staying focused while working from home
Any advice would really help.
Thanks.
