The stress is literally making me sick

5d ago·1 min read

I've been getting tension headaches every single day since we moved offices. Longer commute, stricter hours, and more meetings means less time with the family which creates stress at home too. It's this stupid cycle where I'm stressed about work so I'm short with the kids, then I feel guilty, then I get more stressed. Just started seeing a therapist about it. Anyone else hit a point where you realized the job just wasn't worth it?

Tension headaches from stress are real and they suck. You need to address this sooner rather than later because it only gets worse. Have you talked to your family about what's going on? Sometimes just being honest about it helps.

I had the exact same thing happen when we moved offices. The commute alone was adding like an hour to my day. Finally had to be real with myself about whether this job was worth what it was doing to my health. Worth thinking about.

The longer commute plus stricter management is a brutal combo. I was dealing with that a few years back and it was wrecking me physically. Have you looked into your options? Sometimes a shift or a different position actually fixes the problem more than you'd think.
