Women in the workplace are highly nervous, on the one hand, because of the heavy workload; On the other hand, due to the traditional preference for boys over girls, it often affects the employment standards of the industry, and gender bias and gender discrimination are common in employers? Women are inferior to men? Even excellent women often have to pay more than men to be recognized in the competition. Many women in the workplace believe that only by working hard can they get the appreciation of their bosses and get a raise and promotion; Other jobs lack self-confidence, and they are often worried about being fired or being surpassed by others. In the same level of work, women are at a disadvantage in employment, job competition, promotion and salary increase. Some units discriminate against women in optimizing the combination and appointing and dismissing cadres, which often puts women in a passive position in choosing jobs and re-employment. While feeling unfair treatment, many women in the workplace often feel anxious, less interested in their work, lacking motivation and depressed, which has a serious adverse impact on their mental health.
1.2 pressure of dual roles
The dual role of professional women refers to social role and family role, and the role norms of different roles are different. Society requires women to work independently, bravely, competitively and energetically. The family requires women to be gentle and considerate, virtuous and hardworking, and to do housework in good order. The orientation of women's social role and family role requires women to bear multiple loads. They not only have to work hard in the workplace like men, but also undertake a lot of family work and pay more than men in educating their children. The conflict of dual roles puts women in a dilemma in family and career. When the dual roles conflict, women often need to make a choice. Many women in the workplace can't be busy with work and family problems, and finally they are exhausted, so that a considerable number of women in the workplace can't let go? Career, marriage and children's education? When it is reconciled to a balanced state, the psychological conflict in the dilemma makes the tense nerves of women in the workplace fragile, and often leads to unhealthy psychological phenomena such as irritability and tension.
1.3 imbalance of its own factors

If any physiological stage is not handled well, it will easily lead to physical and psychological diseases, which is why the incidence of depression in women is usually higher than that in men. In the stages of childbirth, breastfeeding and early retirement, women are not only forced to interrupt their careers, but also often feel depressed because of personal body shape changes, aging appearance and other issues. Many professional women are enterprising, set high goals and have high expectations for themselves. However, some high-quality intellectual women are in the best period of marriage and childbirth when they finish their studies and enter the society. Due to various subjective and objective reasons, some people often encounter setbacks, making their expectations difficult to achieve, so they complain about others, feel at a loss, refuse to accept the facts, and thus have psychological obstacles.

2. 1 Adjust cognitive bias and understand life.
Most women who have a successful career and a happy life pay attention to the shaping of their own personality, and can foster strengths and avoid weaknesses and grasp themselves well. Women should fully realize their strengths and weaknesses, adjust and improve their personality and character, control their fluctuating emotions, meet the work and challenges with a positive attitude, and treat promotion and salary increase with a mentality of not liking what they deserve and not worrying about what they lose. Through these, they can improve their anti-interference ability and help themselves to succeed. When others surpass themselves in some ways, don't stare at others' achievements and resent them, let alone try to help them, but build up self-confidence: I am not worse than them, and I must do better than them! Others have the ability, only by jealousy, not only can't stop others from making progress, but they can't make progress themselves. Only by learning from others with an open mind and improving yourself is a wise choice. Learning, like the beauty of a woman, is a lifelong project. In the face of ubiquitous competition, only with solid knowledge can women enhance their competitiveness and have a wonderful and fulfilling life.
2.2 Reasonable arrangement of work and life, and correct handling of interpersonal relationships.
In life, family, work and society each account for a certain proportion, and favoring one side will lead to psychological problems. Women in the workplace should organize their work effectively and never let themselves be slaves to their work. In work and life, there should be clear boundaries. You should have a full rest after work instead of thinking about work. If the work pressure is unbearable, you should give up and arrange some time with your family and friends reasonably. No matter how busy you are at work, you should communicate with your family more and don't neglect your spiritual care. When you feel great psychological pressure and feel sad, angry, resentful and other emotions, you should be brave enough to talk in front of your relatives and friends, get their comfort and guidance, so as to dispel bad emotions and get the understanding of your family and friends. Don't sacrifice yourself easily, and try not to sacrifice others. Let the whole family grow together. While realizing their dream of independence, they should take care of their families, especially the needs of their children's emotional life, and strive for a win-win situation for their careers and families. With harmonious and moderate interpersonal relationships, you will have the power of support, a sense of belonging and security, and you will be happy.
2.3 Pay attention to self-cultivation and face the reality positively.
It is a natural law for a person to go from childhood to youth, middle age and old age, which cannot be violated. People have to face many choices in their life, grasp their own life opportunities, distinguish the focus of life and career in different periods, and allocate energy. As a woman, no matter how beautiful she looks, she will get old, and there should be a correct acceptance process in her heart. Time can sweep away the beauty of women, but it can't sweep away the beauty that women can only glow after years of accumulation. This true beauty is a woman's accomplishment and wisdom gained through years of baptism. To enrich your life, don't always think about other people's evaluation of your appearance, but should evaluate yourself from more aspects, such as family harmony, career success, good social relations and so on. Appearance is not the only thing in a person. Time can take away everything from a woman, but it can't take away her generous, intelligent, naive and kind heart. Can only make women more elegant every day.
