This is a tough one. I think the best thing you can do is stay informed, acknowledge people’s feelings including your own about the fear of the unknown. Provide the space for your team to be able to talk to u about anything. I’m trying to keep myself focused and remind myself that I cannot control the spread of the virus in my community but I can control my actions and reactions to it. So I’m on 🐠 more often because it helps relieve my anxiety. Hang in there.

Sorry 😥

Hopefully this is just temporary and you will be able to bring them back once this is over. Is this R&R?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about.

Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.
