Am I addicted to work? Is my job running my life? Is work always on my mind? These are just some of the basic questions one may ask if you are facing job or career-related addictions. Work addiction is a real but less discussed addiction in the mental health community where the need to always perform tasks comes from a fear of not being successful or what others in your work may think of you if the task is not completed immediately. Anxiety therapists in Orlando agree this is a tense line to clarify but one that you may find yourself crossing routinely. Try asking yourself if you are off the clock and can’t seem to stop thinking about work, or if you get a notification you need to immediately answer it. Do you even find yourself doing a “second day” of work after your normal workday has concluded because you feel you just cannot stop? How about even if you disrupt your daily living for the purpose of being able to put work first thus not allowing yourself to be given time for yourself. Being addicted to your work can alter the way you want to live your life solely by focusing on how you can be the best employee. These are all indications of a poor work-life balance and potential addiction to our job.
