Dear @user1138 ,
Thank you for reaching out. I imagine managing a career in interior design, with its demanding hours and client coordination, can be particularly challenging, especially with your mental health concerns.
It might be beneficial to explore career paths that offer a better balance. For instance, graphic design allows you to use your creative skills while often providing more predictable hours. Similarly, web and UX design roles offer the option to work remotely, providing a more controlled and less stressful environment.
Additionally, reaching out to a career coach could provide you with tailored guidance to find a career path that aligns with your skills and supports your mental health.

It’s also helpful to understand that anxiety and depression can act as protective mechanisms. They signal that something in your environment reminds your body of a past incident. Due to this sensitivity and the body’s attempt to avoid getting hurt again, your well-being can be affected. Triggers can vary, but learning how to regulate ourselves is a crucial life skill. Sometimes, anxiety and depression may indicate deeper issues being triggered by work situations. Seeking professional support can be very helpful in resetting your nervous system and developing strategies to manage these feelings.
A counsellor can work closely with you to help you learn coping strategies and uncover the root causes of your discomfort. This may possibly help you stay in the interior design industry if it’s a job you enjoy but find challenging due to your sensitivity.
I hope the above has been helpful and if you’d like more resources or if there is anything else you’d like to share with us, please do. We’re here to listen to you, your feelings are valid and you matter! 
Take care,
Cool Breeze =)
