Freaking Out, advice please?
| Tue, 07-20-2004 - 10:28am |
Hey everyone,
I am on the verge of a MAJOR freakout. I just started a new job, which I absolutely DESPISE with every fiber of my being. I wake up to anxiety attacks every day, and I'm eating like crazy as a "comfort", which of course means that I've gained about 5 pounds since starting this job. And that only adds to the stress!! Coupled with all of this, my bf and I just moved in together, which is adding stress. And I'm sleeping between him and our dog, which means that I get very little "good" sleep.
So that's it. That's my rant.
Any advice for preventing the inevitable Freak Out that appears to be my destiny?

As for the little pup...you might have to keep the door closed when you retire for the night. Tell the boyfriend that you're not getting enough beauty sleep to funtion properly at work and that Fido will need to start sleeping on the floor or completely out of the room.

I am older than you so I know there are jobs that are just not worth your sanity. I agree with the other post that you should stick it out for a little while and look into a temp agency etc. Remember: No job is worth your emotional health, you will find one that suits you better.
As for your boyfriend and dog, that's alot of change at once!!! I have always had problems with change and I think alot of people with depression do. Talk to your boyfriend about what is upsetting you. (work, dog, etc.) I always feel alot better when I vent to my husband. Relax and do not be so hard on yourself. Everyone "freaks" out every once and a while.

I would repeat the talking with your bf most importantly, let him know how your feeling, I'm sure he'll love that you came to him and trusted him with your stresses :o)
Take care of you,
Hugs!!
