Overthinkers of the Fediverse, what are you currently freaking out about? (self.asklemmy)

I’ve been on a medical LOA since last year and tomorrow I go back to work and I keep thinking about how almost all my coworkers I knew are gone and processes have changed. Also that if I do something wrong I might injure myself again and be right back where I was a year ago (I have been cleared for full job duties by my doctor).

Yeah same. I find it helps me with anxiety when some of my life's problems start feeling overwhelming. But if I'm in a depressive state it seems to mostly sap away motivation.

Interesting, now that you said that, I notice it‘s similar for me. I haven‘t had any of my work related anxiety since this years long existential crisis started, probably because for that it really does help.

Unearthed some other more concerning thoughts though. Maybe that is also part of why I keep coming back to social media, it’s nice to get various insights like this. Thank you.
