Shutting down
posted July 21st, 2014 at 11:37 AM
There have been at least three people at my office who have gone on stress leave and have never come back. I never understood why or what drove them to it. It's stressful here, but nothing I can't handle. Until today. All of a sudden years of ignored stress seem to be flying at me and I now understand how they all could've gotten to this point. I just hope I make a u-turn somewhere before I reach that point of no return too.

It's a strange experience when that switch gets flipped. Check you diet, sleep, exercise, support network. Be good to yourself. Meditate, walk, yoga... easy on the alcohol and stimulants
Red flag ahoy!

What kind of work do you do? some jobs are hard to leave at the office; they follow you home, so you can never escape from the stress. Or maybe it's your boss?

Work-related stress tends to have cumulative effect. Take care...

I wonder what Anna does for work that she can just slough it off as "just work, nothing more".
