Does anyone ever find that their anxiety focuses on something other than what they are actually anxious about?
I’ve been anxious since starting a new job, worried it’s not going to go well or that I won’t like it. But for some reason instead of worrying about the job, my anxiety focuses on my relationship with my partner. I have relationship anxiety but it’s been much much less lately; but it seems to have spiked again with the stress of a new job, which is confusing to me because I assume my anxiety should be work related considering my circumstances.

It’s as if my GAD doesn’t want to overthink work worries but is happy to find something else to worry about instead - my relationship. 

Has anyone else experienced this misdirected anxiety; and what did you’s do about it? Is there a name for it? 

It’s upsetting me because I’ve just began conquering my Relationship Anxiety but now it’s back for a completely unrelated reason and I don’t understand why.

TLDR: I’m anxious about a new job, but instead of worrying about this my anxious thoughts are focusing on my happy relationship instead; has anyone else experienced this and what is it called?
