tightness in chest
| Thu, 09-21-2006 - 11:08pm |
Do you ever feel like a deer in headlights at work? Like you don't know where to begin and like you don't even know what your talents are anymore? My chest hurts every day. I can't eat. When I do make it to the grocery store, I can't seem to actually cook or prepare the food so I end up throwing it out. I'm struggling to eat one meal even though I'm hungry for more. I just don't have the physical energy or mental motivation to eat. I'm tired. I feel like I'm in a deep hole. Can't get my work done even though I know what needs to be done. I just don't do it. I don't know what my problem is and I don't know how to fix it! I can't seem to do anything at work, even though I like the work and I'm good at it. I feel really scared about my level of functioning right now and the ongoing tightness in my chest. And I can't sleep, can't turn my brain off. Sorry to complain.

Hi Grace, I agree with Jan.

For me, I think it's the overwhelming responsiblity at work, rushing home to take care of the house and kids, cook dinner, shop, do laundry - all while my brain is still thinking about work & what I need to do the next day.

Sometimes knowing will help reduce or eliminate stress.
Just wanted to send you a hug and let you know others are thinking about you.
You are not ALONE.
For myself coming here helps.
Talking with others makes it alot easier.
Take care.
