I am really stressed about work and it's the only thing that I am really stressed about. I feel like if I'm just stressing out about one thing it shouldn't be that hard to handle. But I struggle so much to do small tasks for work. This struggle to do tasks is even creeping into my personal life. I barely want to do anything to make me feel good and better. I just want to sit or lay down, do nothing, even just sleep all day. It's just been so hard to get out of this rut. I know I should exercise or go do one of my relaxing activities, but even those have been seeming like daunting tasks now. I went to my happy place yesterday and it helped, but the moment I woke up today all the stress from work I had tried to get rid of just all came back in one shot. I've gotten to the point where I do things that are not me, and I feel so guilty about it adding more stress. I feel so broken and helpless. My partner wants to help me and reaches out to me on my mental health but it just feels so helpless. I want to take a break from working in general but I need the money, which causes more stress for me just thinking about all that. How do I deal with this? Writing in my journal doesn't feel like it helps anymore. Making lists which I always enjoyed for tasks doesn't help me "reach a finish line." It's all so confusing. I'm a grown adult and I feel like I should have stress handled but I don't. It makes me feel like I'm weak or broken or something. Does not knowing how to deal with stress make me weak or broken? The one thing that always helped me was rock climbing but I can't do that now with the gyms and all. I used to run but I would find myself quitting after a few days. Same with just doing simple exercises like push ups, planks, stretches. All of the motivation goes away after a while. I'm so stressed I'm not even eating anything... that's so unlike me. How do you take a break to relieve some stress from work when it's right there with you all the time just staring at you? (I'm working from home). Sometimes I wish I had another job. I'm not confident in my skills. Maybe this lack of confidence is coming from the stress? I started my job so well around April. Now it's all going downhill. Am I burnt out? Am I not enjoying my work? I like completing my tasks. It makes me happy. Plus what I work on is pretty cool! I should focus on the positive things in life, shouldn't I? I don't have it as bad as other people yet here I am thinking life only revolves around me. Kind of selfish I guess. But I'll try to be positive and just get myself to a better place. It's kind of a scary thing for me to think about having to fail to get better. I've always had the image that I had to be perfect all the time. But I'm not. I'm not perfect. I should be ok with that. Kind of hard to believe, lol... *long sigh* I'm gonna be more positive to myself. Not going to say try. I want to be more positive to myself and let myself know that it's ok to not be perfect, because that's how it will always be. I hope whoever reads this finds some light at the end of the tunnel like I did while writing this. I guess writing stuff down still works for me. I really hope you have a great day :))
