What is workplace anxiety and how do I manage it?

Workplace anxiety can manifest as excessive worry about job performance, fear of making mistakes, social anxiety around colleagues, or physical symptoms like sweating or nausea before work. It's different from normal work stress because it's persistent and interferes with your ability to function effectively. Manage it by preparing for meetings or presentations in advance, practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, challenging negative thoughts with realistic ones, and seeking support from trusted colleagues or a therapist. If anxiety is severely impacting your work performance or well-being, consider speaking with your supervisor about accommodations or seeking professional help.
