Go back to school and get another type of job.

Depends on whats causing the stress. For example, if its work related then a chat with your boss or, more extreme, leaving for a new job, would help. You really have to sit and think whats making you stressed and deal with each thing individually. I was off work for 2 months last year following family problems as I just lost the plot (usually very laid back and easy going but suddenly snapped, yelled, threw stuff then broke down in tears all in my office), I went for some counselling and that put everything into perspective. Good luck.

perhaps refreshen your study room, brighten it up with bright paint, clear out the debris, open the windows, let in fresh air, take a quick shower, set yourself a break time before you get stressed, have a buddy to call you for 'keeping on track'...reward yourself, listen to positive motivation tapes in free time, take up a a new sport for boosting energy,...and talk things out with a counsellor perhaps...might be something there troubling you, choose uplifting music in the background and even splash some Bach flower remedies and aromas around, to clear the head and to revitalize you.  don't get down about things, you'r doing a great job....and hey!! its okay to work with a buddy too....find more buddies and have a different one each night...that makes each one, one a week, and is not tying them down monotonously.

Get a second job.  That should keep you busy.

Try to take a vacation and rest.  I recently took a 3 week vacation and it allowed me to recoup and refocus on life and what was important.\nI have a friend who took a leave of absence and traveled to Asia for a few months.   When he returned, he was a renewed person and actually when into a new field of work.\nBurn out happens and change is good.  Best wishes.

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

Start by taking a 1 month vacation with at least 2 weeks spent doing nothing!  Then ease yourself into doing things that you used to love...run, plant flowers, shop, etc. (whatever)\n\nThen when you go back to work, make yourself slow down.

Put up a site called Yahoo! Answers. Award "points" to people when they write answers to questions. Sit back and wait while the brainwaves congeal...\n\nNow get back to work!

You need to take a time out.  You are becoming jaded and if you let that happen you will never be excited by or truely enjoy anything at all.\n\nDo something that is totally outside of your realm.  Got every gadget known to man, shut'em down.  Get out to the country or a park and sit under a tree and just look at the world around you.  I mean really look at things  find those shapes in the clouds  do something to recapture your sense of wonder \n\nWhen you want to just stop doing something, get creative find a new goal to use with it or see just how expert youc an become at it, do something to help you stick to something for more than a short time.\n\nStop and write down a list of all your blessings. You have access to the internet and are well and healthy enough to come here and post should start you off and you search your life for the rest.  When you finish your list you will discover you have much more than you thought and it will help you want to accomplish more which should get a spark going in you again.  Remember nothing difficult is ever easy.  work at it and soon it won't take work.

Hi Abhi. It's clear that you have work stress. Try not to be too perfect but organise yourself and concentrate well on what you are about. Avoid doing the things that you will regret or the things that you are not sure of. Keep with the meds. They are essential for restoring vital chemicals which are deficient in you. Simple meditation and slow breathing exercises help as well as staying away from spicy foods. When alone and tensed, find a friend to chat with so that your mind does not begin to get anxious. The psychiatrist will do an excellent job in removing some of the tension within you by having you speak out your problems. Keep with it. Your life will be a success over time, don't even worry about it. \nTake care\nLove,\nAngel

dude thats not the answer you need to lift your chin up and keep at it. so you failed your drivers test big deal you can try again. if at first you dont succeed try try again. you can do anything if you put your mind to it! you have to think positive and keep your chin up. life sucks yes but you have to grab life by the horns and wrestle it to the ground and overcome it. and as for loosing your job no loss apparently it was not a very good job anyway so pick yourself back up off the ground and go out and find an even better one. it is out there believe me. i can speak all of this from experience! i have been where you are now. i started to give up on finding a good job i would like too but just as i was about to give up i found an awesome job and it is even better than being an employee im in management now and you could do it too! you just have to be positive and get it in your head that you will succeed and you will not fail. dont take any of this laying down. get up and get into life and enjoy it and have fun and make life fun. it can be it dont have to be depressing it can be happy times trust me i know life can be great and im sure it will be very soon and sooner than what you think. be a winner because in my book everybody is a winner they can only fail if they allow themselves to. anyway if you ever need anyone to talk to about things feel free to email me at larrydseeley@yahoo.com i will answer back. good luck and god bless remember you are somebody and people do care about you and respect you. let me know how you are doing sometime soon. your friend larry.

Come up with a few productive ideas and call a meeting with your boss.  It will make you seem proactive and could lead to an interesting project.  \n\nIf you still get no work or only busy work out of this, you learned that the job is basically going nowhere.  Do some snooping to find out if layoffs are impending. Don't be surprised if they're not.  Some companies are just like that.\n\nAt this point you have one of two choices.\n1. Look for a different job or career.\n\n2. Rejoice! you've just found loads of free time in your schedule.  Here are a few ideas of how you can spend it:\na)  Write a book.\nb)  At a computer? Download and read ebooks.\nc)  Run a side business.\nd)  Hop on ebay and do some selling.\ne)  Take long lunches.\nf)  Take naps\ng)  Place a paper mache manequin in your seat and stay home.

Start looking now. Your job is what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and If it's not making you happy, don't punish yourself. Sure it might get better, but you've got to be happy.

I call this bullying, especially the bits about not giving you your work and shouting at you in front of other people.  Is there a personnel department or union you can see about this?  If not, I suggest you look for another job before you get symptoms of stress.

first of all, i'm sorry to hear that you quit your job and that you're feelin so bad about the action you did.\n\nmaybe you were just so caught in the emotion at the moment, so you dropped the bomb, went ahead and quit... only to have some second thoughts at the end.\n\nnow don't feel so bad about it... you hated your job, might be you're so unhappy about it already, and thank that you were able to quit before you went nuts staying & bearing with it a little bit longer.\n\nwhat you have to do now is to relax and rest. then once you have stored enough energy, you can go try to look for another job. i know you can make it. =)

We are in the same boat. I lost my job the other day for being "too quiet." They said that I worked hard and didn't do anything wrong but they wanted someone more out going.How stupid is that? All you can do is pick youself up and try again.Good Luck! Oh and in the mean time try to enjoy your day off. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.
