I’m up for promotion this year, and I’ve been working so hard and my feedback is amazing and I’ve wanted this for awhile.

With all that’s happening, I’m not going to hit my 90% utilization target, which is a checkbox in my promo. (cont).

My anxiety has snowballed in the past month and I’m really struggling. If you think about that feeling of nervousness you feel when you’re about to walk into a job interview.. that’s how I feel all day every day. I’m suddenly nervous/anxious about EVERYTHING, even when I’m not thinking about anything. It’s to the point where last night I couldn’t fall asleep bc my heart wouldn’t stop racing in nervousness but there’s nothing I could/should have been nervous for. Has anyone else experienced this?
