Jobs for Anxiety Sufferers

[Rosyrain]

What are the best kinds of jobs for people who suffer from anxiety? I work in a high stress job and am looking for something new because I have come to the realization I can't deal with the stress anymore. I need something that is more laid back and I don't have to worry constantly. What about you all?

I work as a sous chef at a mom and pop restaurant. It's me and three other people. We get all the basic stuff ready before opening such as salads, and side dishes . It's pretty quiet and you are left alone . The best part is you get there at 6 but your home by 1.

Perhaps look for some work online that isn't so stressful. I was in catering for 30 years which is a really stressful job. You really have to love it to do that job. You may have to retrain for something else, but how about something like a florist or shop work. Dog walking and cleaning are other jobs that are not so stressful, or gardening!

It's way easier if people don't depend on you.

I work in a highly stressful environment, too, and the most relaxing part of it for me is housekeeping/filing which I do once a week. For most of us, we have to embrace the stress that goes with the job that pays more than what we can expect to get paid for in less stressful industry/position. There's no other career that I can think of for myself. I could have opted for a more laid back job in a bank consolidating electronic bookkeeping records of the branches assigned to me and printing the results daily but I wouldn't have grown in my career had I not chosen a job that gave me an exposure to the entire facets of my profession. You can probably use a short vacation so you can unwind and be enthusiastic about your job again.

I would suggest you find a job that requires very little contact with a boss or lots of other people who would be telling you what to do constantly. I found a part time job doing cleaning at our local community center. I go in and do the same job every day and know what I need to do to keep the place clean. That way there is no conflicts with my boss or other employee's. If something needs tending to they leave me a note and that is less anxiety for me.
Other job ideas would be library work or a appointment setter, dishwasher, researcher, data entry, hotel or outdoor work like in state or national parks, self-employment etc... For me I love my job and look forward to going in every day. Hope this helps you.

I would love to have a job working in a restaurant, but have heard it can be highly stressful. I am a creative person and think I could do some great things if I could find a job that would allow me to let my creative side loose. I feel that this kind of job would help keep my anxiety at bay, doing hard fact jobs seem to escalate my symptoms quite a bit. I have been doing some freelance writing work, and it is good and relaxing, but gets rather lonely.

I would suggest that you look online because that kind of work you can do from the comfort of your own home, there is no commute, no dealing with irate customers or lazy staff and so on. It's also possible to dictate your own working hours so I think that would be best suited to someone with your anxiety disorder. If you need help looking, there are a few sites I could suggest for you.

Any job that keeps you busy all shift hands on and not sitting idle. Something where you might not work with others and more independent. I work in a jail and it's horrible for anxiety

One of my brothers used to work as a prison guard. He stopped doing the job now though. We aren't on speaking terms though so I don't know how he feels about it or why he left.

I'm at home all day and mostly I try to focus on writing short stories. My depression though encourages procrastination to I struggle against that. I notice I've been struggling again with procrastination lately so I'm back on the Subliminals to help me. I have to remember them every day which I find really, really hard.
