I've developed some PTSD like symptoms for when my phone goes off.
Notification, call, whatever. Immediate panic and I have to remember to breathe.
Even trimming every notification I can, it still happens several times throughout the day, and my phone only has audible notifications when I'm at home, most from my wife.
I left that job over a year ago and still I can't shake it.
Sorry for you, but how the fuck did you get like that ? If you aren't massively exaggerating, that sounds super un healthy and a massive mental issue. What can possibly make it become like that?
Sole IT person for a corporation and was on call 24/7/365.
It was just supposed to be a help desk position.
It was for an MSP that… Well, the whole thing was a nightmare, but I had lost my IT hospitality job due to covid and the place shuttering. I was desperate.
For me a simple combination of autism, massive social anxiety, and actual PTSD ^^'
It's a symptom rather than a problem.
Some jobs are incredibly stressful - often the result of being given responsibility for things which are either out of your control or you don't have resources appropriate to address. Sadly, this intense pressure inspires high levels of performance at the cost of the individual's sanity.
If your phone is your "inbox" or the way you're notified of incidents then it's natural that over time a notification will signal your endochrine system to go into fight or flight mode.
When a lizard sees a moving shadow and darts for the bushes - that doesn't mean it's scared of shadows it just doesn't want to get eaten by a swooping raptor.
This is a mental disorder that you need looked into.
