Stress

Stress, stress? Dont' talk to me about stress, YOU ARSEHOLES, YOU don't know what its like constantly under pressure, demanding wife, massive credit card debt, living on a park bench, having to live in Yerkshire and covering up the fact that I'm a Manc, worrying about Chelsea game, how to feed the cat, where can I replace these hole ridden jeans, girlfriend threatening to tell the wife, gas bill, hernia, ugly face, jug ears, being retired and wondering how to fill the day, oh my god, I could go on......
Go for a long walk, it works for me.
 
Stress to me is like a half filled glass of water.
You keep dropping little pebbles into it. Some bigger than others. But eventually it can be the tiniest little pebble dropped in that causes the whole thing to overflow.

Depending on your occupation,the problem for many is managing 'the dose' because its very often constant,unpredictable,and generally out of your control.

It very quickly get's on top and before you know it you begin to fall victim to its effects,and that's when things become serious and the repercussions devastating.

Seek help and speak with someone the minute you,or someone else,recognises there is a problem.
 
It is said that a certain level of stress is beneficial to performance. Once it goes further it gets destructive.

It’s not just the external factor - like the Messerschmidt or the tight deadlines - but how you internalise it. Everyone has different limits. Some people can tolerate pressure that would cripple others. Real stress arises when the situation feels right out of control. All the more so when the circumstances are prolonged and you can’t see a way out.

The first step - much easier said than done - is to somehow try to regain control. That’s what the poster did when he walked away from his shite job. But I’m guessing it followed months of agonising over lost salary, job prospects elsewhere and the fear of appearing to be a failure. Not a nice place to be.

I can recommend keyhole surgery for your hernia mate and Matalan for your jeans, after that, you're on your own.
 
the trouble is most workers are there to earn shareholders lots of dosh so are always put under more and more pressure as in two man jobs becoming one as at my place.in the old days most companys were happy to be profitable where now that's not good enough.shareholders put bosses under pressure to earn more profit who then roll the shit down hill.no one gives a fuck if you only see your missus for ten miniutes a day.oh well only 12 years to go before I retire if I last that long
