I admit not being very tolerant when my husband obsessing about work. He doesn’t have moods per se and is generally easy going but he does have disorders that cause him obsessing and agonizing excessively etc
He always thinks he did something wrong at work and he is about to be fired, lose his license and most importantly his patient will die. It’s not based in reality. I admit I am not always sympathetic. Nature of my job requires me to be patient, I don’t have much patience left when I get home so I don’t want doom and gloom at home. I admit I am not the most patient partner.
Having said that my husband does things to elevate work related anxiety and help himself so to speak: therapy-his therapist is really good, working out, gym, hobbies, breathing exercises, he is also on mild dose of medication- he has to be etc
Do you do anything to elevate your anxiety? Also if this job causes such distress, is this the right job for you?
