I’m 19 years old, working to save for uni. I’ve been working at this warehouse job since January, and the job itself is honestly fine. I drive an electric pallet truck and pick orders. Super basic stuff, straight forward , extremely boring but it’s what you expect ofc.

However , i’ve noticed myself grow increasingly anxious in day to day life, and I’ve never really been a super anxious person in general. Both when I’m at work and not, I always have a looming paranoid feeling. Social events and stuff like that tend to stress me out more, which they never did before.

I believe this is from my warehouse job and the ‘micromanagement ‘ that comes with it. My managers essentially track my every step, question me if im not hitting their high targets they set, so while Im at work i always feel super on edge. Im unsure why this crosses over into my personal life, i always have a feeling that im being watched even though it sounds super silly.

I feel like i can hardly relax , im always slightly on edge, when i literally shouldn’t be. Is there any way to deal with this?? Other than this I don’t even mind the job itself and what im doing, it is what it is, but im concerned about this feeling that’s coming with it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated
