  10. Stress Awareness?! Makes me laugh. I reckon some folk don't know the meaning of the word. It's certainly used too loosely nowadays. With the health problems I've suffered from stress (and they're pretty severe according to my local Hospital), if I went to the doctors and asked to be signed off work I know they'd do it there and then, for at least 6 months! But you can't do that when you're running your own business, when you have to work 70 hours per week and when you're solely responsible for keeping it afloat and several persons employed. Every single day is a battle but I'll never give up and know, without any doubt, that some day soon the light at the end of the tunnel will start to appear.

  12. The biggest stress I have everyday is picking frosties or shreddies for breakfast... :thinking:
     
  13. My day wa a little stressful but hopefully I didnt take it out on anyone and actually managed to redesign someone elses job to remove a number of stressful issues. Most stressfull thing I did today was recommend some poor bugger be disciplined for swearing at a customer (hes a nice chap actually but lost it!). and then, ironically, replying to a complaint someone made to me about me!! Bless him - he thought I wasnt compliant enough.
     
  14. I run my own business, so taking time off for stress would mean not earning. I do appreciate that stress can be a proper 'illness' but think that a lot of people use it as an easy excuse to be off sick on full pay.
     
  15. i think its unfair to write off why people get stress and how it effects them.

    different people have different levels of dealing with it and not everyone is the same.

    if there is anyone on here that is suffering from stress at the moment remember to talk to people about it and remember there are ways of dealing with it.
     
  16. I get very stressed, not sure why but I really do, all the time over stupid things. :(
