How to cope with work anxiety?
Just another Monday of work and with some anxiety. Not anything severe.. but it gets annoying how frequently this happens. Work related anxiety feels just the worst and it makes me feel I wish I never had to work in corporate. I am curious if anyone can relate to me?
I usually face this anxiety when I am about to receive some work or getting involved in new projects, having an impostor mentality that what if I'm not qualified or what if I do not perform well? This mental gymnastics leads me to imagine so many scenarios.. It feels like such a mental burden, even the job feels like why does it require so much mental energy - sometimes I wish I worked something that involves minimal mental ability or something that requires more of a routine, or creativity or honing skills like cooking or baking or any other pursuit that doesn't force me to face this anxiety or makes me want to prove my worth.. I can't even imagine doing this for another 30-40 years..
Does anyone feel the same? How do you deal with this?

Did you chose IT job by following influencers boasting about 50+ LPAs?
Read history about how our grandparents used to work without tech and their physical and mental health, nowadays due to tech everything has been happening in front of screen so need keep ourselves fit mentally and physically otherwise gonna feel the fatigue.
Make use of AI, learn new things, don’t just spend the days doing office work, explore hobbies.
Also check for Cholesterol, vitamin B12 and D levels, if any issues then make changes to lifestyle.

I didn't, I'm not a developer and neither I'm new to corporate and I'm not sure how that's even related to my question.
Our grandparents were sadly focused on their survival. Also, I do have plenty of hobbies I'm occupied with, and I'm trying to stay updated on AI tools as well.. I keep learning from time to time through work community or Udemy.. maybe this AI itself is adding some pressure as well due to the uncertainty of the market. It makes me feel sick sometimes how easily replaceable everyone is.
