I am free from stress...yay! Until I get a new job. I have found that many jobs out there for young, unexperienced people are often stressful and demanding. My last job was like that, many demands, tight deadlines, lots of change, they worked me to death.
I just recently went to see my cardiologist, the first thing she asked me was 'are you having any problems?' and of course I answered saying 'no, not heart related' Then she asked 'Any other problems?' I started to then explain that I am having problems dealing with stress.So my cardiologist persisted to ask about my stress problem, I told her that I have lost a lot of weight, she didn't think it was a good idea for me to be working where I was working at the time and I just explained to her that I know my job is stressful but that I am also looking for a new job.
Well,recently I ended up leaving that job and now on the look for better and hopefully less stressful job. I recently saw my physician, to get some anti anxiety meds in the hope that they might help ease the discomfort of on job stress so that I can function and meet the demands and expectations of whatever employer I have next. In going, I also found out that my blood pressure was elevated.
I really think this sucks, but what can I do, I have to continue on with a job and life and hope that things can only get better from here on.
I don't think most of the stress comes from the actual job itself, but just worrying about all the other things in my life,how I fit in with the rest of my coworkers, and living at home with my parents. Once I move out of my parents house, I think things will greatly improve for me, but until then, I guess I just have to hang in there until I save enough money to move out.
This is like a never ending cycle, I start jobs and leave them. Why can't I just stay at one place for a long period of time? I don't want to have to keep starting over again, I need to start building upon my life especially if I want to move out of my parents house. Too much to balance out in my life, work, friends, fun, maybe school if i decide to go back. How do you do it all?
Well hopefully the meds will help and I will be more level headed, worry less and function better in the workplace. I just need to check with my cardiologist to make sure that the anti anxiety neds (Lexapro) will not interfere with Coumadin, and if it does, then find out if she wants to test my Coumadin more often.
I hope that this will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
