$ERGOPHOBIA
The irrational, persistent fear of work.
This is our coin.
WTF is Ergophobia?
Ergophobia is a persistent, irrational fear of work. Not just laziness. Not just a bad Monday. It's your brain screaming "I literally cannot do this" even when you want to.
How does Ergophobia differ from normal work anxiety? People who suffer from ergophobia start working later in life, have a more exaggerated or irrational level of fear, and may avoid even applying for work or be chronically under-employed due to their fears. They may feel unduly stressed by common work situations, even when they are performing objectively well.
What it feels like:
- Strong anxiety just thinking about work
- Avoiding tasks, emails, calls
- Physical stress reactions (tight chest, brain fog)
- "I can't start" even when you want to
- Often mixed with burnout or fear of failure
