I have been an anxious person all my life.
But my anxiety really started 2 years back after my mom had a stroke. As I am very close to her. I also have OCD and health anxiety. Coming to my current issue. I get anxiety when there is bad argument with collagues or confrontations. I get really agitated inside, this trigerrs my anxiety. I get pain im chest between ribs. It subsides in a day or few hours. Also I get tye exact symptoms before or during crucial presentations to higher officials. Especially if I am not sure of the Content I am presenting. I feel that they are thinking my presentation is not good, snd I get anxious.
If I see all this, I think that I cannot negative feeeback. And I think about what people at work think about me and my work. I am scared if negative remarks.
I know there is no one without any negative thing to say about them. Popoe always talk behind their back.
How can I get through this and be confident. The hardest part is , to suffer from chostochondritis for few hrs after each such presentation or altercation .
