I enjoy what I do but It’s ultimately not good for my anxiety. Making good work at a competitive agency seems to come at the cost of my mental health.

Where does your anxiety come from? Is it pressure from your CD, or fear you won’t live up to your own expectations, or the long hours?
I’m slowly learning to reframe things, and especially learning to ignore pressure from CDs to ‘win awards’. Find that all you can do is trust the creative process. Ideas come to you or they don’t. And your work doesn’t determine your value as a person. Having this mindset allows me to say ‘fuck you’ to everything else and just have fun with the brief. Feel like agencies do themselves a disservice my putting pressure on creatives that just stresses them out and compromises their creativity.

I had my two or three interviews, got an offer for a role at an university, I accepted and am “ hired” . But they’re still checking references . Does that make sense ? I got a update that one of my references did not work out. I provided two other references that I don’t know if they’ll give great reviews due to them being petty. Is it a high chance that they can take the offer away if I don’t meet the requirements for my references ?
