This is likely a trauma response due to something in your past, probably childhood. It may even be something not memorable. I’d recommend therapy. Despite what a lot of people on this app say you should not be getting flight fight or freeze responses from work.

Walk away from the laptop, drink some water, eat a meal, when you come back, make a to-do list. Rank it by priority and cut your big tasks into smaller ones, and then start crossing off the list. It’s easy to get overwhelmed in this line of work, but you need to be able to push through. Maybe start preparing before the day begins and do a recap after the day ends to prep for the next day?

I have been in my current job for 1 year now as a booking coordinator for a logistics company. When I started I had no idea of what my workload would be, now I noticed that my coworkers took the opportunity to pass most of their job to me. I’m burned out, can barely take break and end my days totally drained and exhausted, also the same people is harassing me with questions like: “why are you working that slow?” Or the “quality of your job is questionable because…..” continue in comments
