I'm a anxiety sufferer here. I work alone most of the time, which is not great(miss my work peers/pals) plus I'm at home often with the wife and family which is lovely but it can get a bit tangled. I've shuffled things about and do half a day volunteering at the end of the week. Takes me away from my own sphere of problems and the people I do it with are great.
Hora, you're right, its what I keep saying to myself, but its not been helping, thats why I'm at this place.
2unfit2ride, nah, thats not me, I work as little as possible to get what I need to have the life I want to lead, its not the volume, or the type of work I do, I love it, really, love it, but its the stress of the rest of my life that seems to be the problem. Its the way i am interacting with others and the fact that working alone I have no-one to spend the days with, that is definitely the problem. Keeping up with the Joneses ? F8ck that, couldn't care less about what the Joneses have, I just want to be properly happy again (I know I should be, I have a fantastic life and great people around me)and not feeling like shite every time something crops up.
I just need stress dealing techniques, or it'll all go Pete Tong.
Thanks again for your thoughts guys.
Working on your own in your own home is no fun.
I think it would drive me nutty.
I left my last job at the end of October because I was faced with working on my own in an office with over 600 other colleagues. That sounds like a bit of a paradox, but none of them were in my team or department and I hated it.
Good luck roadiesean. You have identified that things need to change and I am sure you have the nouse to make those changes.
I'm currently working from home having set up a new business fairly recently and find it strange. I think it's due to not mixing with people as much, lack of routine etc. I haven't really got anything to add to whats been said but have found this thread helpful to read and was a little surprised by the positive responses to a post on a forum. Very refreshing.
Thing is you see, it's a sign of strength not weakness to be able to ask for help with things like this. It's impacting your life and your relationships and possibly your business.
So that means you have taken the first step and you are talking about it.
Life is too short to fanny around pretending to be happy, you actually do yourself an injustice if you do not actively work to be happy.
Sounds like the lyrics from a song FFS.
Anyway, offers there, i'm working all week because I am on holiday (yes you see when you own a business that's what happens once you tire of the champagne breakfasts and 10hr working weeks :lol:) so i'll be on email.
Kisses and love to all I am feeling quite relaxed today. Oh one other thing, I take Nervine Calm in the form of a tablet - its got a few herbal things in it and since i started a few months back I have noticed a difference.
EDIT: I also only buy organic, quality beer and limit myself to a couple 3 times a week. I'm a no limits sort of guy so can sometimes go a bit OTT and it never helps wrt feeling good.
