A person with severe anxiety disorder graduates from college after rehabilitation, but is still at a loss about what to do?

Greetings, question asker.

It is challenging to provide comprehensive advice on one's current employment situation in a limited space. Nevertheless, it is my hope that this response will facilitate a dialogue and assist in identifying potential avenues for navigating challenges and fostering resilience when faced with uncertainty and

It is challenging to provide counsel regarding one's current employment circumstances in a concise manner, particularly in less than 200 words. Nevertheless, it is my hope that we can engage in further discussion and explore avenues for optimism when feelings of uncertainty and distress arise.

[Gain a deeper comprehension of the nature of your apprehension]

In the text, the author states that they must work after graduation and that they have a fear of work. This suggests that the author views this fear as something they must confront. However, it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the nature of this fear.

One might inquire as to whether this fear is exclusive to thoughts related to work, or if it manifests in other domains as well. Additionally, it would be beneficial to ascertain whether this fear of work is more pronounced than other fears, and to what extent.

It would be beneficial to ascertain whether the fear of discrimination is a result of a preexisting illness. Additionally, it would be helpful to determine if the concern pertains to the ability to perform the duties of the position, or to the potential for discord with colleagues and superiors. By gaining a deeper understanding of these fears, it may be possible to accept them more readily and alleviate the associated pressure.

It is important to recognize and value one's feelings and state of mind.

[Value your feelings and state of mind]

Despite being diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder seven years ago, you have made a remarkable recovery through a combination of long-term medication and psychological counseling. This has enabled you to complete your high school studies and currently find yourself in your sixth semester of a full-time junior college program, with graduation imminent in just six months. These past few years have undoubtedly been challenging, yet with the unwavering support of your family, you have demonstrated resilience and are now filled with optimism for the future.

It is possible that the confusion regarding employment may result in feelings of being adrift and anxious. It would be beneficial to focus on one's emotional state and communicate with a counselor in a timely manner to address any related emotional issues.

Career confusion is a prevalent phenomenon among contemporary college students. Many individuals in this demographic are uncertain about their desired career path prior to graduation. You have indicated that you have a major in marketing. Do you find this area of study appealing, and are you amenable to pursuing a career in a field related to it?

In addition to this major, what type of work do you find appealing and are you interested in pursuing? What type of work can you perform given your current skill set?

By identifying the areas of overlap between the two lists, it may be possible to ascertain potential career pathways that align with one's interests and abilities.

Ultimately, it is my hope that the individual in question will successfully complete their academic program and embark on the subsequent phase of their life journey.

Hello, question asker!

In 2015, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder, and I had just graduated from junior high school. I was ready for a change! I couldn't stand the pressure and the strict time management system in high school, so I decided to take a break from school. Later, I was admitted to a local full-time college through a single exam, majoring in marketing.

During this period, I continued to receive the amazing support of medication and psychological counseling. I am now recovered and continue to receive the wonderful benefits of psychological counseling, but have stopped taking medication.

I'm graduating next year, and I'm so excited to start working! I'm a little nervous about it, but I'm also really confident about my future. I'm just not sure what I'll be doing yet.

It's so interesting that you went to the same school as me! We're feeling really confident about the future and have even stopped taking our previous anxiety medication. So, we're currently feeling a little apprehensive about the next challenge that comes our way.

We know what anxiety disorder has brought us and what kind of state it has put us in. We've been on a seven-year journey to gradually get better, and we've learned so much along the way!

The questioner is worried about the direction of work. How about our performance in school? Many of our classmates in the class at the time have found a pretty good job. In terms of direction, do we want to work in a field we like or one we are good at?

The great thing is, we can just start working and change if we don't like it!

We will be in a new environment after we start working. How exciting is that?

Anxiety won't completely disappear, but that's okay! It's been with us for so many years, and now we get to start over in a new environment. Our sense of tension is also due to our own needs and the fear that we may not be able to do a good job. The most important thing to do now is relax and be calm, and go see what the problems are at work. This is the first challenge after we've recovered, and we can do it!

When we stop being afraid and instead respond with a calm mind, things will get better! There will still be many such challenges in the future, and we should see them as an opportunity to exercise and improve ourselves.

You can do this! Allow yourself to not do it perfectly, but that's okay. We'll do it little by little. Maybe anxiety is also protecting us, and after so many years, maybe anxiety itself is also used to being around us.

?

Wishing you the best! I'm so sorry I'm late. Yi Xinli, the world and I love you!

Hello, my name is Zeyu.

First of all, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the questioner on their courageous journey out of the shadow of severe anxiety and into a place of new hope and confidence. It is a natural process to feel confused and fearful about work and the work itself, and it is important not to overgeneralize this experience.

Perhaps it would be helpful to start by understanding why we feel confused and scared about work.

This may be attributed to our apprehension about the unknown, which can stem from a lack of comprehensive understanding of the work itself. We may have only heard about the work but have not had the opportunity to experience it firsthand. If we encounter some challenging news about the work, it's natural for our initial reaction to be one of concern. It's understandable that anyone in our position might feel this way and respond in a way that is less calm than we currently are.

It is natural to want to avoid the unknown, but this can sometimes lead to fear. For our ancestors in ancient times, not feeling fear meant facing danger and death. For us now, however, it can sometimes feel a bit anachronistic. It can therefore be helpful to consider the benefits that fear can bring us. When we can see this clearly, it can make it easier to accept this part of our emotions. Acceptance can also be a first step towards change. One way to deal with fear is to face it head on. We have already taken the first steps towards facing our fears.

Worries are often associated with the future, and we may feel that we are not fully prepared or capable of handling the situation. However, they can also be beneficial in the present, prompting us to explore ways to address the matter. It's evident that we're already taking steps in this direction, as evidenced by this question.

If I might suggest, we could now move on to the main part of the discussion. How might we go about doing it?

One option is to discuss this topic with a counselor and share your current feelings and thoughts. It's possible that he may be able to offer some helpful advice.

In addition to seeking the guidance of a counselor, it may also be helpful to seek the input of our parents, elders, teachers, and other groups. They may be able to offer valuable opinions and suggestions.

Secondly, it would be beneficial to create a career plan. It would be helpful to conduct a comprehensive and clear evaluation of your current situation. Identifying your interests and hobbies could assist you in seeking a suitable career in a related field.

Additionally, online resources and government platforms can be utilized to identify potential careers of interest and gain further insight into them. It may also be beneficial to consider the optimal time to visit the workplace for an internship or similar experience, with the aim of reducing apprehension and fostering a sense of control.

Ultimately, if you feel that no matter what choice you make, you cannot stop worrying and being afraid, you might consider continuing your studies and getting a bachelor's degree. This could provide you with a higher platform and potentially enrich your options.

I hope that by the end of this article, the reader will have gained a deeper understanding of the various options available to them and will be able to identify the solution that best suits their needs, allowing them to make an informed decision.

Hello there!

I'm a heart exploration coach, and I believe that learning is the treasure of the body.

From what you've told me, I can really feel how you're feeling inside. I can sense your anxiety, worry, confusion, fear, pain, and helplessness.

I won't go into the details of your work-related worries here, but I would love to give you three pieces of advice!

First, I suggest you try to understand yourself and accept your situation, my friend.

I know it can be tough, but I promise you it will make your heart feel a little easier, which will help you think about what to do next.

You mentioned that you've been struggling with anxiety, but you've made a lot of progress and are now receiving psychological counseling. It's so exciting to think about graduating from college next year! You're feeling confident about your future, but you're also feeling a little lost and want to know what to do next. It's totally understandable! Most students feel this way when they graduate and start looking for a job. Facing work can feel overwhelming because it means facing the unknown. And you've been diagnosed with severe anxiety, which can make it even more challenging. It's natural to feel worried, especially when you've experienced extreme anxiety in the past. So, it's important to try to understand yourself and comfort yourself by "seeing" that painful part of yourself that's feeling a little lost and unsure of what to do for now. This will help take your mind off it and allow you to think about other things. Otherwise, your mind will be filled with all kinds of negative emotions.

I really believe that allowing yourself to understand yourself and accept your current state will make it possible to promote change in the status quo. I know it might sound a little contradictory, but I truly think that's the truth because change is based on allowing for no change.

Secondly, I'd like to suggest that you take a step back and view your own state in a more rational way.

Rational thinking can really help you understand yourself and reality better.

I know it can be tough, but I'm here to help! To gain a rational view, you just need to do two simple things:

It's so important to remember that uncertainty is actually the source of our hopes.

It's totally normal to feel uncertain about the future. We all do! It's part of life. But there's a bright side. Even though we can't predict what's around the corner, we can find happiness in the here and now.

Secondly, remember that you can change the status quo because you are capable of change.

Even though life is full of ups and downs, it's important to believe that you can find a sense of certainty, stability, and security in the midst of uncertainty. This will help you live each moment to the fullest. When you give full play to your subjective initiative, it's also very likely to make you feel at ease in the present. So, remember your own abilities and the power of time. You've got this!

I really think you should focus on yourself for a while and think about what you can do to feel better.

For example, you can ask yourself what makes you confident about the future. You mentioned this in your description, so when you find something you are confident in, you are likely to feel less confused about finding a job. Your confidence may also help you when looking for a job!

You can also look at your classmates who are a year ahead of you. They're doing great things! You can find out what kind of work they're doing after graduation. This can give you some inspiration and help you to know what you are good at. This can also make you feel better!

You can also take a look at your major in marketing and think about what abilities are mostly needed, as well as what areas you could work on. Once you've done that, you can spend time and energy improving and perfecting them. This may also give you some confidence in yourself!

It can be really helpful to write down all your worries about work, making sure to be as detailed as possible. Once you've done that, you can start thinking about what you can do to make some changes. Then, go for it! Taking action can really help to ease your mind.

You can also talk about your thoughts with your family and friends (including your counselor), and this communication itself will make you feel better. Once you start sharing your feelings, you'll feel a sense of relief and healing. Your loved ones might also offer you some understanding, advice, and support, which can make you feel even better. It's important to remember that you have the power to make things better.

I know it can be tough, but when you start to take action, the various negative emotions in your heart will naturally slowly dissolve. Believe me, action is sometimes the best medicine!

I really hope my answer helps you! If you'd like to chat some more, just click on "Find a coach to interpret – online conversation" at the bottom and I'll be happy to have a one-on-one conversation with you.

Hello! You once suffered from severe anxiety, which affected your studies.

You're on the cusp of graduation and brimming with confidence about the future. I get it—you're not quite sure about the specific direction, but you're ready to find it.

You are valuable.

You overcame severe anxiety seven years ago. You have overcome many difficulties in the process of overcoming the illness and have actively treated yourself until you have recovered. This is a remarkable achievement, and I am truly happy for you!

You enrolled in a full-time junior college to study marketing, despite the illness delaying your high school studies. You have accumulated a certain amount of knowledge through persevering with your studies, which will be a capital asset when you enter society in the future.

You said that although you have a fear of work, you are full of confidence in the future. Fear is normal, but you're not going to let it hold you back.

You are also full of confidence, which is a reflection of inner strength. You will make better use of the skills you have learned by working with such expectations and yearnings.

Find a goal and direction.

There's a great saying: There's no such thing as rubbish, only misplaced treasure. It means everyone's valuable, but it also means you need to find the right stage for yourself.

The ideal and most enviable state of work for a person is to do what they like and are good at. If you think about it, a person is like a speedboat. Their ability is like the engine, which determines the horsepower. Their interest is like the rudder, which determines the direction of navigation.

I don't know what made you choose marketing as a major, but it's a very broad major with weak pertinence. You can explore your interests and specialties on the basis of this major to determine your work goals and direction.

Explore from the perspective of interest. Holland's theory of interest in career planning identifies eight types of interest: artistic, practical, entrepreneurial, social, research, and material. Determine which type of interest you have through exploration and consider doing marketing in that field.

Howard Gardner, a Harvard professor, believes there are eight types of intelligence. Most people can develop to an average level in several intelligences, while a few can achieve extremely high performance in a particular intelligence. Know your strengths—your intelligence characteristics—and your career choice will become clear.

Make some practical preparations.

Once you've explored your interests and abilities, you can set a general goal and direction for choosing a career. Next, you can make some practical preparations for the future.

Exploring interests and abilities provides a general goal and direction for choosing a career. Next, you can make some practical preparations for the future.

First, broaden your horizons. Determine your goal and choose one or more industries as your direction. Learn about the industry's characteristics, examine its historical background and development prospects, search for key departments or units within the industry, and consult relevant materials on the Internet.

Next, you should look for resources in your personal network that are related to your field of interest. You can learn more about the industry by asking for advice and conducting interviews, and you will find out if there is a shortcut to entering the industry.

Third, expand your knowledge base. Find out what additional knowledge you need to enter such a field. Use your free time to collect information and study in a targeted manner. This will improve your understanding of the industry and related professional knowledge.

If you want to prepare for work, you need to understand that there is still a lot to do. You have to do things one by one and steadily to dispel your inner confusion.

I am Teng Ying, a psychological counselor, and I know this will help you.

Hello, I'm Evan, and I'm excited to be here!

From the description, it can be seen that the questioner is about to graduate and is at a loss about his future plans. When facing the future, very often others cannot give the questioner detailed answers. But that's OK! One's own life always depends on oneself to find and grasp.

But it's totally worth it to find a job that suits you, even if it takes a little time. It also puts the questioner in a great position to discover what they really want.

I'm here to give the questioner a big pat on the shoulder and a little strength. It's totally normal not to have a plan for your future career. It's more about knowing yourself and discovering what you're suited to do and what you can do. Once you find a path that suits you, you'll be amazed at how far you can go!

What's right for the questioner depends on the path they choose. No matter what direction you go, once you've made up your mind, go for it with gusto! The most important thing is that you think about it: when you're old, looking back at the decisions you've made, what do you want to be remembered for, and what impression will others have of you?

Since the question was asked on a platform, I can't go into all the details, but I can give you some simple advice that I think you'll find really helpful!

Be honest!

It's so important to be honest about your choice of work. Everyone's purpose for working is different. Some people work in certain occupations just to earn money, while others do it because they are good at it.

Everyone's reasons for choosing a career are different, so you get to be honest with yourself! What is your purpose for choosing your current major and wanting to work in this field?

What an amazing opportunity! What is your purpose for doing this job?

What amazing things could I get from this job?

What are you hoping to gain from this job?

What makes you a competitive candidate for this job?

What do you think you need in this job?

Write down everything you love!

The questioner can also write down what they love, who they love, and the things they love, as well as the life they want to lead in the future. Learning professional knowledge is a great way to better survive and live! If the questioner loves their family, then their focus will not be on work, and they can pay more attention to their family.

Work is just a necessity of life. Finding the people and things you cherish in life is a great way to focus your energy on your goals and interests. If your work is something you are interested in, you should definitely consider how far you can go in this career and how you can go far. You need to have your own plan and constantly improve yourself, and you'll find it's well worth it to advance in this industry and overcome any obstacles that come your way!

Many people are eager to turn their hobbies into careers, but they often overlook the challenges that come with it. If you're not prepared or underestimate your talent in a specific area, don't worry! You can still make it happen by combining your strengths to develop a related major and leveraging your existing advantages to help yourself advance in your chosen field.

Take relevant career aptitude tests and discover your perfect fit!

There are so many amazing test scales out there that can help you discover which type of work is perfect for you! Some of the most popular ones include the MBTI, PDP, and other personality or career test scales.

These scales are just a reference, so don't worry about getting them exactly right. There are so many possibilities for you, and it's not necessary to follow them exactly. The most important thing is what you want to do and what you like!

Now, take a moment to reflect on where you are in life right now.

The old saying rings true: "At twenty, one is young; at thirty, one is established." The questioner is on the brink of a new chapter. They're about to graduate from college and enter the workforce, ready to take on the world. From a biological perspective, the questioner's brain is still developing, and it will continue to do so until the age of thirty. This means the questioner has the unique opportunity to explore what is suitable for them.

We get to play different roles every day, or label ourselves with different behaviors. So what does the questioner know about himself and what role does he play in society?

Our roles may include "son," "technician," "employee," "programmer," "anime fan," and so on. It's time to list your identity labels on a piece of paper!

Now, think about which role is the most enduring and which role is the most important in your opinion!

Now, think about all the amazing roles you want to play in the future!

Some roles stick with you throughout your life, like "son" or "technician." These are the nouns that can be used to describe you as a person when you leave the world.

Now, think about which roles the questioner feels a lot of pressure from and have a side effect on your life. The good news is that perhaps in the future the questioner can take these roles less seriously!

The questioner can help you complete this list by thinking about the things you want to accomplish. If the questioner feels that they like a certain area of work and it is also reasonably well-paid, the questioner can also consider whether there are similar jobs available. This is a great way to find a job that you love and that pays well!

What kind of work does the questioner like, and what can this work bring to oneself? If the questioner likes this occupation and is motivated to do it, then the questioner should definitely write it down!

Think about what kind of work you want to choose!

Take a moment to think about why you chose your current major, or why you want to pursue a certain career in the future. To create a life plan, you must first be clear about what your priorities are at this stage — and you can do it!

The questioner can think about whether they want to continue studying their current major in depth. They can also think about whether this industry is a good fit for them and whether they can develop in depth in this industry. What are the reasons for the questioner choosing their current major?

There's a great way to get the OP to think about these reasons! It's to imagine their funeral. I know it sounds a bit morbid, but it really works! Who will be there?

What do you think people will say about you? I bet it'll be something amazing! Maybe they'll say you're a fantastic animation designer, and that everyone admires you.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on other aspects of the question owner!

When faced with a choice, the questioner should follow their heart and choose what is best for them. Or, after some consideration, choose a job that they think is more suitable for them. Either way, it's an exciting step! It requires careful consideration by the questioner, but it'll all be worth it in the end.

I really hope my answer helps the questioner!
