Hi All,
Just thought I'd rant a bit more here. Well, got back from vacation a few weeks ago to very little work at work. I'd spend much of my days doing very little. In case you are wondering, I work as an actuarial analyst (and hopefully one day an actuary,) and the work I do is very academic in nature. Lots of thinking, analyzing and math are required.
Anyway, just yesterday I received an insurmountable pile of work, the likes I haven't seen in months. The deadlines are all very soon and I don't think I can handle this. I'm afraid I'm going to lose it. I really feel like just quitting now. I don't get the satisfaction and enjoyment out of my job that I used to before my bout of severe anxiety attacks.
Also, I spoke with my boss about my workload and he just told me to work late and come in on weekends. That just made me even more anxious - I don't think I can handle all this pressure.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me right now?? I could really use some motivation.
