How do you cope with frustration and anxiety?

I started a new job myself not too long ago. One of my co-workers has been a little snippy with me lately because I keep making mistakes. I think he is unaware of the fact that I have various LD’s.

Anyway, best way to deal with your anger or sadness is by talking it out. Online or offline to anyone who will listen. Listening to music, eatting, walking, etc.

As far as making buddies go, well…I may not be the best person to ask that one. :D I gave up on people long ago. I accepted my loneliness long ago and embraced it. I have also gotten to the point I think where I know longer care about what others think. And I will just start a convo with anyone who I feel is worthy of my time and not care if I impress them or not. If I don’t, I move on.

Really, I think everyone will get to the same point I have reached. Where you are tired of being sad and just work with what you got. And don’t really care if you got buddies along with you or not. People are such morons anyway, who really wants to be around them? :wink:

for me is to do really strenuous exersise. any time i feel anxiety comeing on and i know i can take a break ill just runn it out or swimm it out or lift it out. thats what i do

Many people if not most people feel the way you’re feeling when they start a new job. Did they give you a mentor or a ‘work buddy’ - someone to help you whlle you’re new? Even if they didn’t, look around for a friendly face. If anyone asks you how you are, tell them you like the job but you’re feeling like there’s some things you don’t know yet that you need to know. they might offer to answer some questions. Or seek out a friendlier face, and ask if you may ask then some questions.

Most people enjoy being asked for advice. Try to avoid complaining about coworkers to anybody - it doesn’t help. It’s hard to ‘fit in’ when you’re new but as the newness wears off a bit, you will.

Good luck.
