I'm Losing It Again I Think...

[J_trustno1]

Yes, I'm starting to get high stress levels, losing sleep, nausea, migraines and losing weight now!!!!

F**K , my health is going down. It is all to do with when they said my contract at work isn't increasing. I know that I didn't want to do this job but I feel rejected and feel that I will never a find a job again. It took me 18 months to land this data entry job despite all the qualification and experiences I had.

My eyes feel heavy all the time and I haven't slept well for the last 4 weeks (since I heard about my contract not being extended). I tried exercising today and fell badly and ended up injuring my shin (it's badly bruised).

My anxiety is getting higher and higher day by day. I don't know what to do about it. I haven't been eating properly or doing anything well in my life. Gosh, it's stressing me out :( :depressed:. Please help.

Jass, I'm so sorry to hear about your work. But remember these things about you: you're strong, you're a survivor, you'll find another job and probably one less stressful and hopefully making more money. "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us" (Helen Keller). Try to concentrate on that next door, Sweetie. :-) You got this!

You will be ok.

...I do not know how it works there, but here talking to a job recruiter would be a good step.
You are very overqualified for data entry. Recruiters make a living connecting good people to good jobs.

Ground. Breathe. Start looking for the better job now. You're awesome. I believe in you.

Thanks @Theresa1122 :hug:s . I'm just damn stressed. On top of this, that guy problem where his friends were insisting about him. I finally did message him, he sent a reply and added me on facebook. But there was nothing after that. It's not that I'm after him but I felt disgusted for doing something I would NEVER do because I don't lower my standards! Having never heard back after that feels that I showed him my vulnerable side. Argh! I'm feeling like a loser :(. All this shit is hurting my ego :(

He's not worth your stress if he can't take out the time to respond to your message and only add you as a friend and think that's good enough. You're not vulnerable. I'm sure he just thinks you were trying to connect with him as an old acquaintance. Guys don't think too much into anything - they're not like us. He probably thinks nothing of it. Just let it all go. Talking on here is good. We all got your back! :hug:s

Thanks @Theresa1122 . I did congratulate on his new job when he said that to my reply. After that, I didn't hear a thank you. I feel like a fool for even trying. Seriously, I should've ignored him like we have been for the last 4.5 years. It was his damn mates at the gym trying to convince me that there is something and I was dumb enough to even bother. This is adding stress on top of my job stress.

No man is worth that much anxiety and/or stress. If he's already stressing you out like this, you don't need to be any closer to him. There's someone out there who you will find when you least expect it. I know everyone says that, but it's really true. I wanted nothing to do with relationships or men when I found my boyfriend, who became my husband, then we got divorced, and now he's my boyfriend again. If it's meant to be, it will come to you. Don't chase him. It's too tiresome. :-)

 

[J_trustno1]

Yup, you are right. I'm not going to chase him. I've done my part and I'm leaving it at that. I can't let my virtue down for a man! If he is man enough and sees any good in me, then he'll approach me or else we'll be like what we were 4.5 years ago (i.e. strangers!).

I was where you are now, nine months ago....self care went out of the window when I lost my job as the stress of losing my job become overwhelming. I had to take back my self care routine....eating properly, sleeping reasonably, positive thinking, physically doing things to get another job ( gave me focus and hope), and routine my day.

It was hard but I knew that I had to do these things to stop me spiralling to the very bottom of the pit....I had to focus hard on getting back up.

I took on a job three months ago which I never thought I would ever do but focus on the positives I provide for others and myself.....I am absolutely loving it!...and so glad that desperation lead me to taking it on.

I hope you find your way soon.
