I wish I felt supported at my job.
OP: Same. I'm somewhat new(ish) to the agency world. Some aspects of my role are a challenge, which is good, but I personalize feedback and get really upset. Granted, I hold my shit together at work but often cry my eyes out at home. I'm so anxious. There's always an undercurrent of not being good enough. Feels like nothing is ever good enough, and our work is so subjective -- It's so impossible to please anyone let alone everyone. People form impressions of you without knowing the whole story, context, or situation, they backchannel, you get labeled a certain kind of person. I struggle with all of this. Even harder knowing that I KNOW this shit does NOT ultimately matter, yet it's so hard to detach and let go. 🤯
Accept what is happening and don’t blame yourself for suffering from anxiety. It is what it is and blaming yourself is counterproductive.
When you feel an attack coming take a moment to pause, breathe and collect yourself. No one will notice.
Focus on what you’re trying to communicate. Don’t worry about people judging you. Most people are too busy dealing with their own issues to worry about you.
Thanks everyone. Just typing it helps. Trying to focus less on the imposter syndrome feeling. That shit is real!
Have actually caught up and feel like
Maybe I'm doing this right. Then panic starts in around 8 or 9 that night and lasts through the next morning until the afternoon again.
I cannot sleep
I took a client-side gig for a bit and felt the same way. For me it was partially due to being a fish out of water in a non-agency environment but mostly it was working under a CD who was a textbook type-A and didn’t communicate well; despite my constant effort of requesting clear direction. I spent as much time stressing over deciphering as I did working
Ugh I've been there
I had the same feeling when I moved to the US and started in my current company. I experienced the impostor syndrome, which made me feel all the time that I wasn’t good enough for my position, but with time I discovered it was all in my head. You just need to focus, find elements around you that give you confidence (finding an ally always help)... and try to meditate and relax when you start feeling overwhelmed
