Last August I got a job as a quality control technician. This job requires me to wake up at 4am in the morning and work until 3-3:30 pm 4 days a week. This job also requires me to be in a more assertive role as I have to make sure that the other workers are following proper hygiene. I notice that my anxiety has slowly increased during the time I have been working there. I think it's a combination of waking up super early each morning, being in a more assertive role which I am coming to realize makes me a little uncomfortable, and the fact that I am absolutely terrified of messing up and getting in trouble with my boss.

There was one day that I forgot to do something and I got a text from my boss lightly reprimanding me/getting my attention to the issue. Since then, I have been terrified of missing something and getting a text from her. I just feel stressed and anxious all of the time. It also seems my lexapro (10mg) isn't really helping with this and I need to increase my medication. My co-workers are nice, my boss isn't even mean, she's super nice and I respect her a lot, but I am absolutely terrified of disappointing her.

I will be going to another job in August. This will be perfectly aligned with what I want to do career-wise. The hours are also better and the position is much more laid back and I will be able to work more independently which I think will do wonders for my mental health.

Has anyone else experienced this? Being at a job that significantly increased your anxiety and then switching to a job and the anxiety decreased?
