What is "work anxiety disorder"? 】
"Work anxiety disorder" is not a strictly medically diagnosed term, but refers to a general psychological stress response that occurs when people return to a stressful work life after a relaxing and happy vacation. Symptoms may include insomnia, palpitation, depressed mood, decreased productivity, and even physical malaise. It is rooted in anticipatory fears and pressures about work stress, relationships, self-fulfillment, and more.
Why does "work anxiety disorder" occur? 】
1. Changes in the pace of life: During the holidays, people's life rhythm is usually looser, and returning to work requires adapting to the fast-paced, high-intensity work mode, which may lead to physical and mental discomfort.
2. Prediction of work stress: Many people worry about the backlog of work tasks, new work challenges, and possible interpersonal conflicts, which are unknown stressors that trigger anxiety.
3. Self-worth recognition: After a long vacation, you may have questions about your career positioning and value, which will affect your self-confidence and enthusiasm for work.
How to deal with "work anxiety"? 】
1. Adjust work and rest in advance: At the end of the holiday, gradually advance the bedtime and wake-up time, so that the biological clock is gradually synchronized with the working day and reduce physiological discomfort.
2. Reasonable planning of work: understanding and planning the work tasks after rework in advance can reduce the pressure caused by the unknown. At the same time, set goals in phases to keep things organized and manageable.
3. Positive psychological construction: Use positive psychology methods, such as self-affirmation, mindfulness meditation, etc., to improve self-efficacy, strengthen positive cognition of work, and regard work as a process of realizing self-worth rather than a burden.
4. Establish a good social support system: Maintain good communication with colleagues, share holiday anecdotes and expectations for work, which can not only enhance feelings but also relieve anxiety.
5. Moderate exercise and recreation: regular physical exercise can help release stress, and timely leisure and entertainment activities can recharge the soul and meet work in a better state.
In summary, "work anxiety disorder" is a normal psychological response, and the key lies in how we recognize it, accept it, and take effective measures to adjust.
