Question:
I just got home and my brain is screaming. I HATE MY JOB! I used to
love my job. It meant so much to me. Now I hate it. The stress is
killing me. My brain is crumbling. My spirit is broken. I nearly wept
during lunch today, in front of about 200 people. If I can just hang on
for a few more weeks, then I will begin an extended vacation/leave.
Someone tell me I can make it, please????
Answer:
It's only a few weeks away...hang in there...you can do it....after all, you've
put up with it this far...hope you feel better..this is the weekend...a small
respite
Within the next few weeks, I have to lease my condo, pack our family,
move to a new house, take my husband to the hospital for heart
catheterization followed by a heart valve operation which will keep him
in the hospital for a week!
THEN, I promised myself an extended leave of absense.
just try to take life one day at a time. If you have
to, break things down into one hour at a time, even minutes if you
have to.
I was terrible job stressed too in the last few months. When it
came down to the last two weeks before I took my leave of absence, I
thought the time would never end. I had to break things down into one
hour at a time.
Sounds rough. You *can* and *will* make it. If you need time off
right now, take it. Always remember to take care of yourself first.
Otherwise you'd be no good to your workplace, loved ones, etc...
You are so right about taking care of myself. I am
learning all too well what stress can do to my body, my emotions, my
family life, and my job performance. I have only a couple weeks left
until my leave begins. I have to hang on til then. Thanks for the
postive thoughts.
