Work as a Remedy Good Practices Book EN

Strategies and Coping Mechanisms One of the main strategies that has helped me is the support system at work. My colleagues and supervisors have been very encouraging, which boosts my confidence and helps me manage the daily tasks better. Additionally, having a structured routine has been beneficial. Knowing what to expect each day reduces my anxiety and helps me focus on my duties. At home, I still seek my mother’s approval for major decisions, but I’m starting to consider the idea of getting a formal diagnosis and possibly starting psychotherapy. The encouragement from my workplace has made me think that maybe it's time to address these challenges head-on. Positive Impact on Well-being Having a steady job has had a tremendously positive impact on my well-being. It has given me a sense of purpose and independence that I never had before. I am proud to be financially contributing to my family, which includes my mother, sister, and a couple of elderly aunts. The social connections I’ve made at work have also been uplifting. I feel more connected and less isolated, which has improved my overall mental health. Moreover, being employed has boosted my self-esteem and given me hope for the future. To anyone out there facing similar challenges, I want to say: don't give up. Finding and keeping a job might seem daunting, but with the right support and environment, it is possible. Seek out workplaces that value understanding and accommodation. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and look for people who will support you. Employment can bring a lot of positive changes in your life, from financial stability to improved mental health. Keep pushing forward, and remember that every small step is a step towards a better future.
