How should I cope with my extreme anxiety when the situation that's causing it ... isn't one I can get out of immediately.

There's a lot of stress at work; I am dealing with mentors who are not that helpful and are quite rude. It's a really dehumanizing situation and I doubt my boss will do much about it. I have a boss who puts a ton of stress on us and she has high expectations. It's really difficult. I dread every conference. I dread going work every single day and I get extreme anxiety about it. Sometimes I end up getting sick due to the anxiety either migraines or stomach problems etc.

I can't quit my job. I talked to my fiancee and we've discussed me quitting in March once we are married so I can be put on his medical insurance. However, I don't know that I can do that. I don't know that I can be reliant on someone. I know there's a possibility of getting a new job, I am even in the process of getting ready to interview for a position but it could take time. I am hoping to hear about the interview sometime within the next week but this particular department can sometimes take months.

I need some suggestions on how to cope with the anxiety and stress. The stress increases the anxiety. The way I am treated in my unit increases my anxiety.

When I am at work I listen to music or audio books to ease the anxiety. When I come home I will listen to audiobooks at time but the anxiety is still debilitating and sometimes I end up staying in bed because I can't do much else.


I don't enjoy weekends. I get Friday night and some of Saturday to not feel anxious but my Saturday night I am anxious and Sunday is worse.

I don't want to be like this but the main solution of hoping a new job would be better...is not something that can happen right now.I have to wait and hope my interviews go well or hope that in March I feel capable of quitting a relying on D.
