stress

[grtforestry]

I packed my business in due to stressing over finances etc. what made it worse was seeing others doing a bad job and still getting work and getting away with it when I was trying to do the job right. I now work on an estate, took the job thinking it would ease the worries of business. But it's just as bad I get so frustrated and stressed at the speed things happen, attitude of other staff and laziness. Still do my own jobs at weekends to get my "hard graft fix"

Built up dot com company

Valued at embarassing amount before crash, went from tooling around in bentley to 10 year old toyota corolla......

Spent three weeks in a very black space .....and eighteen months in not quite so bad space

Very very nearly topped myself, glad I didn't now ..........

I have started to grit my teeth. I often find myself lying on the sofa or in bed doing it.

 

 

I do that! Also lower back starts pinching and if I ignore it turns into major muscle spasms and a trip to physio and/or diazepam.

well, this is my second time around. Last time I jacked the firm in and went freelancing for 10 years...I was very stressed out. I try and just do 4 days on the tools and spend a day pricing/doing maintenance (although it doesn't always work that way!). Its too easy to do too much...this time I'm giving myself a bit of space and trying to share the workload a bit more with the blokes...I'm spending a bit of time doing stuff I want to do...martial arts, parachuting and having the occasional skinfull of beer with mates!...don't forget to live, at the end of the day - its just a job

Know exactly how you feel there mate, I've been subbing to another firm 5 days a week since last July due to lack of work on my own part and doing my own work at weekends but 3 weeks of working with one of the worst feckwits there meant by the end of yesterday I could feel myself building up for anothe rmajor anxiety attack so glad I was off today else think I would have been bad again

My stress levels have dropped massively recently. Due to a number of factors but wont go in to them. Just wanted to say too all the people who have posted on this thread that there is light at the end of the tunnel and it will come right in the end.

Well it finally happened after best part of two years of watching dangerous idiots keep their jobs while decent men lost theirs, I finally blew tonight and told the guy I sub to where to stick it, got about a fortnight's work to keep me going and see what the future brings.
