Anyone have tips for this? My job is very high stress and really triggers my anxiety. I’m in the process of job searching but as of right now, I’m here and have to deal with it. 

My boss is very stoic and serious, plus with the WFH, online environment it’s very difficult to detect tone. I know a lot of my issues are self-imposed and based on my anxiety because my boss has never reprimanded me or been rude. She’s just quite stern and serious and that in itself puts me on edge. She also isn’t very directive and she’s one of those people who is highly intelligent and experienced, but she’s a bit out of touch and assumes everyone will understand her shorthand and brief responses. 

So many times I end up making mistakes because her responses are easily misinterpreted (1-3 word responses), and it makes me feel so stupid to either make these mistakes or constantly ask for clarification. Furthermore when I’m anxious I freeze up and make even more mistakes. 

Does anyone have advice for dealing with workplace anxiety? I’m at my wits end.
