When I heard rumors about layoffs at work, I felt disquiet - I was worried about my job and couldn’t stop thinking about what might happen. The disquiet made it hard to focus on my work. Sometimes disquiet comes from uncertainty - not knowing what’s going to happen can be more stressful than knowing something bad is coming.
