问HN：作为开发者，我在与焦虑作斗争——我有哪些选择？
我是一名资深网页开发者（有10年经验），但在过去三年里，我一直在与焦虑作斗争，这影响了我的工作表现。去年我开始了一份新工作，但由于表现不佳被解雇，现在我在思考如何继续前进。
咨询让我意识到，我的工作和个人特质是我焦虑的根本原因。对他人看法的过度关注和对犯错的恐惧与代码审查、冲刺和不断的截止日期并不相容。
焦虑导致肌肉紧绷、脑雾、肾上腺素激增和疲惫，使我工作效率降低30%。这形成了一个恶性循环：更多的焦虑让我变得更慢，而这又进一步加剧了焦虑。
我正在通过咨询、写日记、自我反思和冥想来应对这些问题，但接下来我该怎么做呢？我需要找一份新工作，但快速发展的初创公司环境只会导致同样的结果。
我确实想要有意义的工作——我不想整天无所事事。但我需要一个要求较低的环境。我在LinkedIn上看到的都是“快速发展的”初创公司职位。有没有节奏较慢的网页开发工作？对于合适的节奏和环境，我愿意接受降薪。中级职位是一个可能的选择，但似乎很少见，我也担心最终还是会被分配到高级工作负载。
另一个选择是转行，无论是在软件行业内还是外。我对此没有任何想法，老实说，这让我感到相当害怕。我很想知道其他人是怎么做的。
如果你对上述问题有任何建议，或者有类似的与编程相关的焦虑问题，或者已经克服了这些问题，请分享你的经验。这对我将非常有帮助。

I'm a senior web developer (10 years), but in the past three years, I’ve struggled with anxiety, and my performance has suffered because of it. I started a new job last year but I was let go due to performance and am now wondering how to move forward.<p>Councilling has made it clear my job and my personal traits are the root cause of my anxiety. Being conscious of what others think of me and fearing making mistakes doesn't mix well with code reviews, sprints and constant deadlines.<p>The anxiety causes tight muscles, brain fog, adrenaline rushes, and exhaustion, making me 30% slower. It’s a vicious cycle: more anxiety makes me slower, which then fuels more anxiety.<p>I'm working on this through counselling, journaling, self-reflection, and meditation, but what do I do now? I need to find a new job, but a fast-moving startup environment will just lead to the same outcome.<p>I do want meaningful work—I don't want to pick my nose all day. But I need a less demanding environment. All I see on LinkedIn are "fast-moving" startup roles. Are there any slower paced web dev jobs? I'm fine taking a pay cut for the right pace and environment. Taking a mid level job is a possibility but they seem scarce and I'm wary of just eventually being given senior work load.<p>The only other option is to change career within or outside of software. I have no ideas here, and to be honest, this is rather frightening. I'd be curious to hear what others have done.<p>If you have any tips on the above, have similar programming-related anxiety issues, and/or have overcome them, please share what you can. It will really help me out.
