Anxiety sucked the soul out of me.
I am currently 32. All my 20s were used only for getting a job. During that time, I had constant anxiety of not having a job. I know that problems will come and go but i am unable to enjoy life because of my anxiety. Life is not peaceful and anxiety is running in background. Sometimes, it will be of no reason. Now again, i started panicking of thinking of losing job due to ai. I am a average dev and not sure if will get another job if i lose the current one.
Not sure that its another reason for anxiety but i could that my life is a struggle which i only knows. Everything seems ok from outside but anxiety is taking the soul out of me.
I am tired of being anxious, and panic attacks, make up early in the morning.
I wish i had a peaceful life internally
Please go and consult a doctor (psychiatrist) and get treatment ASAP. Excessive anxiety is a medical condition and is perfectly treatable with medicines.
Life can be hard as it is. Don't make it harder for yourself by trying to carry on without seeking treatment for medical conditions.
All the best!
I am already consulting a psychiatrist and is on medication
Since you already know that things might get difficult.
1 Plan your savings.
2 keep looking out for jobs and keep your cv handy.
3 mentally Prep your mind saying it's ok .
4 regular workouts will help you reduce this issue.
5 spend time trying to find out what other things can help you build your career.
Yes, will do that. Thanks for the suggestions
Things would happen either way that can be good or bad, if we try to control outcomes then surely it would not met our expectations.
Don't be too hard on yourself.
I get your point. Not only yours but all the other points as well. But many at times, I am not able to control my mind and this anxiety works like a virus in a computer. It runs in the background consuming all the mental resources. Not sure if peole get my mind, but this is what it is happening.
Learn how to relax ..
Go vipassna if possible.
Our response to situation makes us stressful .
Whatever is going to happen will happen.
We can control only our response to it.
Make it calmer. Read , do workout , have good meals , cook for yourself , don't take bigger loans .
Job is part of life and in life itself.

If you are from a village/small town, leave the city ASAP. There is nothing wrong, many of us are not built for the corporate world. The moment you feel its unwinnable, its over. Try to setup a small business in your home town. anything, that keeps the cash flow running. The first 2-3 years will be difficult, but long run you will have peace.
Sometimes this corporate job is just not worth it. The sooner we realize and leave, the better.
I can understand i lost a person who was important for me due to misunderstanding
Chill bro .. you are imagining too many things. Don't think what'll happen if you are fired, think about it only when you get fired. You won't die even if you lose job, don't worry.
Do you need any help with your anxiety ? How are you doing now ? Hope things are better. Try journaling and engaging yourself in some activities
I feel the same bro, previous generation they used to learn some work once during their school and do same job till retirement! They had stability, job security and all, whereas now, every few months, new things are coming up in IT and we have to do certifications, courses etc just to keep updated, and this doesn't even guarantee a secure job
