Taking deep breaths. Also I have noticed I have anxiety when my thyroid levels have changed

like

This, get your thyroid levels and bloodwork checked. Rule out the physical symptoms etc, then move to the mental/emotional.

Friend of mine took a turn for the worse ‘mentally’ 3ish years ago, turned out to be hypothyroidism. Completely changed the roommate/person he was - made him anxious/depressed, angry, and hated things he loved 3 months prior.

Attack this like any other problem, line item by line item. Symptom by symptom and you’ll get it figured out. Good luck and you’ve got this!

Man, smoking makes me more anxious. Not generally in the moment but long term. I stopped smoking because i was getting so anxious/nervous.

Severe anxiety.

Meds, therapy, faith and successfully maintaining positive thinking over the past year have helped me tremendously

These drugs are merely band aids and will never fully solve the problem. You need to find out what is causing you to feel like that. The anxiety is a symptom. most likely you’re afraid of something. Or resentful against someone. Now which is it?

I have a severe case of general anxiety disorder. My biggest fear is to have an anxiety attack when speaking in front of large groups of people. It's like the anxiety knocks down my IQ by 20 points during an attack, thereby getting in the way of my ability to think and articulate myself.


To minimize this risk, I meditate, over prepare, and do a lot of CBT and ACT.

Cure? That exists?

I’ve been taking Celexa for a few months. It’s been helping me

How many mgs?

Go talk to a professional and get to root cause. It’s a fear and until you can face the cause it isn’t going away. Not easy, but good luck.

When anxious about anything I often ask myself.. what’s the worst that could happen.. and usually it’s something I can live with which atleast reduces the anxiety a little bit.

Lists. If it's written down I know I won't forget it, which helps me then stop obsessing about it.

Exercise has been the most consistent thing for me.

Incoming expat here along with S/O! They are a product manager and are actively recruiting for the right opportunity - anyone open to having a conversation with them + help with a referral?

I saw some sales managers discussing hiring strategies, especially for entry level roles (e.g. SDR, BDR).

One strategy that came up was having the applicant do 90 minutes of cold calling into real prospects with the hiring manager coaching.

What do you think of this approach? Would be curious to hear from both hiring manager perspectives and from candidate perspectives.
