No brainer for me - fuck the work. What kind of life is one where you spend so much time in a place that fucks with your head?
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 feel you, OP
I hear that. I try to just take a step back and do my best, remind myself that it’s my job and try not to get my ego too involved or hurt and support others ideas too. Shit is hard. Because you obvi want to be the best. But that’s also the shit that kills you.
I feel your pain. The anxiety runs deep
