Workplace anxiety: First - learn to leave work at work. Relax & enjoy your off-hours time. Second - try to figure out specifically what is causing you to be anxious at work so that you can address it directly. Talk about feelings & address problems. Don't avoid them. Aim for 7.5 - 8 hours of sleep/ night. Daily physical activity is optimal in a green space. Eat healthfully. Cut out junk carbs, caffeine & alcohol

Take breaks: If you sit at a computer, make sure to get up and move around every couple of hours. If you work on your feet, relax and sit from time to time. Listen to music if it is allowed. If you have conflicts with a boss or other co-workers, try talking to them or speak to a therapist to come up with solutions.

Psychodynamic tx: Find a psychodynamically oriented therapist to speak with about work anxiety. Usually work anxiety is not just about being at a job. Other factors often contribute Then, if needed, go with a psychiatric referral from your GP. GP's can prescribe psychotropic meds for anxiety and depression, but they do not have the specialty training that psychiatrists do.
