It’s so bad that I was watching Seinfeld, the episode where George quits his job but then realizes he doesn’t know what he will do next. That sent me into a panic attack.

I have a job that pays very well. It’s low stress, I contribute a lot and I’m a high performer. My boss praises me a lot and says things like “I couldn’t do this without you.”

Yet I’ve become perpetually afraid I’ll lose my job. Maybe not now, but like in time and then I won’t know what to do next. 

I think “I’ll never find a job that pays this well. I don’t have any real skills. I’ve tricked them into giving me this job. I don’t have anything to offer another organization. I’ve topped out my career potential at 33.”

Does anyone experience this and want do you do to combat it?
