Realizing this may not have been the best career choice for someone with bad anxiety...

In all seriousness, get out now. You’re a junior, this is the time in your life where any move you make will have the smallest financial impact and the biggest life impact.

I don’t want to give you a doom-and-gloom, but if the work of a junior is stressing you to the point of creating problems with your health (mental, physical, whatever), you’re really going to experience problems when you move up to mid and to senior.

If you’re committed to this career - and I could understand that - you need to seek out professional help for your anxiety.

We as a culture do a horrible job acknowledging limits on ourselves and we are the ones who suffer for it. Take the long weekend and spend some time in front of the mirror and ask yourself what you want, what you think you’re capable of, and what you’re willing to do to get it. And if those answers end up something different from “Global Executive Producer for W+K” just know that that’s okay.

This was largely a joke. I would never let my anxiety prevent me from pursuing something I want to do. I do agree that professional help is an important piece of the puzzle for anyone who struggles with their mental health, especially when they are regularly in high stress situations.

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux. I also have no experience in this field as I'm a data engineer. The user journey map was for mapping out the process for tenants finding housing assistance, so not a technical product. Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?
