anxiety

When I was working I found that being in a large open plan office could trigger anxiety for me. I negotiated a move to a quieter room in the building, but that's not always possible in all work environments. However usually some changes can be made to improve sensory overload, such as moving away from a window where there may be glare from the sun or draughts, using headphones to cut out noise, wearing tinted glasses if lights are too bright, etc. Try to identify what makes you uncomfortable and discuss with your employer to find solutions.

One time when I was on a bus travelling home from work which was really crowded, I became overwhelmed and had to get off half way home and wait for the next bus, which was less crowded. So try to plan ways of managing a situation if something makes you anxious. If you work full time you could go for a walk at lunchtime or go and sit in your car and listen to music, to get a break from the environment.

If I began to get overloaded and anxious, I would try to focus on something positive - looking forward to being at home later, having something nice for dinner, participating in a hobby or interest.

Finally - this is not medical advice - I found CBD capsules helped alleviate anxiety, although they don't work for everyone. If you cannot manage to overcome your anxiety you should speak to your GP about what medication or supplements you could try.

Wishing you well.
