I am off work today with swollen throat and headache. I feel low on energy. I work in a primary school as a teacher. Things have been stressing me out of late, I am not usually like this. But recently I have been worrying myself over everything at work, I have never ever thought about work outside of school this much before. I worry that next year I might be getting Year 6 which is the top year group, which I have never done before, and I am panicking that I can not do it, well, I know I cant. I have only been trained for Years 3 and 4. There are rumours going around that everyone will be moving about because a teacher is returning off maternity who usually does, and is very good at year 6, but she wants to take it easy in year 5!! I also have a student starting teaching practice in my class this week and have to guide him aswell. Communication between management is crap to say the least and I feel I never do anything right! So rang in sick today to get some rest. What you think?

I am really, really unhappy at my current place of business, but my supervisor, whom I have a lot of respect for, is out on maternity leave until September. I have an opportunity to move to another facilty with better hours, benefits, pay, and less stress. Although this sounds great, I feel terrible about leaving my current job in the lurch. I have posted ads online for position available, but no one qualified is applying and they will be in BIG trouble if I leave now. I just don’t know if I can mentally hang on until September. There have been a lot of management problems, a dramatic increase in workload, and a recent reuction in client satisfaction at my current job, so it would really impact the practice to be without me there as a skilled nurse. (Not to mention the impact it would likely bear on quality patient care.) I feel bad, but I am mean there every day and I hate it. My dad and friends say I’m silly to stay regardless. What do you think?

People who ‘hire on’ as ’secret shoppers’ are train in abusive behavior, to question and target already stressed out employees. Our neighbors, co-workers and management all are subject to this torture. One day serious harm will come to one of these indivisuals as a stressful economony is breaking the hopes of many.

My boss has been making life extremely difficult for many of the employees. 3 have quit in the past week, and I am on the verge of quitting but must find another job first. My boss has no formal training in business management, and is very difficult to communicate with. She will appear very happy one moment, and leave nasty notes the next. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can deal with my stress and anger? I feel as though I am about to explode, but do not want this to happen in the workplace.

I have two kids and one on the way. I also am very concerned about the climate ‘issue’. I know that as an individual, I can only do so much and that the real solution lies in government authority and mass movements. But I fear for my children and I worry that I have not only brought them into a potentially hostile future, but I have wasted my own existance in possibly committing to mothering the ‘ issue’ of over-population when I am pro-impact-reduction. I’m not saying I regret being a mother, but the entire environmental issue is huge bearer of stress on me as a mother concerned for her kids’ future, and who is also concerned for the climate… any insights?

About a year ago I had a girlfriend who’s had a very bad life.
I know it’s stupid but I tried to help her and make her feel better by making out I had all these problems, to make her fit in and have a friend she could talk to.
I guess I really though I had these problems, and started cutting.
I don’t now, for ages.
Anyway, we broke up. She started going out with her best friend.(I knew she was bi, it didn’t bother me at all, but while we was going out she told me she loved her. So that kinda made me feel bad)
I’ve been feeling really worthless for the past couple months.
I feel worthless, along with all the stress of school.
Every single teacher thinks that their subject is the most important and it annoys me that they give us so so much work to do all at the same time that it is seriously impossible to do it all.
I dred waking up in the morning, everytime I think about school I get butterflies.
I should be doing homework right now, in the summer holidays, but they give us so much that I had to worry about it while I was on holiday.
I don’t care about anyone anymore.
I think about it and I realise that I don’t care if I don’t see anyone I know again.
I wouldn’t give a crap if I just came down with a serious illness.
Latley I’ve just felt like I don’t need school and I don’t want school. I’m much smarter than both my parents.
I much happier alone.
I don’t care about my friends or school at all.
I feel tired all the time, even though I find it fine sleeping.
I can never get comfertable, no matter how hard I try.
Things that I used to love doing, like drawing and playing games, I just find stupid, pointless and annoying.
I just feel like I have nothing and no one to live for and if I just had someone to talk to, someone who cares about me as much as I care about everything, I’de feel better.
But I always here people bitching about me giving me dirty looks etc.
I don’t see the point in living anymore. The world isn’t big enough, I feel trapped.
I don’t see the point in my “future” because technically, none of us have a future, we all die in the end, so why take anything serious?
I want to go back to self harm because even the thought of making one little cut makes me feel relief.
I feel like I really want to … die.
I not feeling sorry for myself, I couldn’t care less if I spend life alone.
But I really want to go.
Wondering around the world as a ghost forever is my best hope.

I came to the library on UNT’s campus this afternoon, & I saw a guy walking barefooted. I thought that it was strange that he was walking like that ON campus outside ON THE GROUND! Gross! I could NEVER do it. Then I saw 2, & 3, & about 20 students. So I pulled a girl to the side & asked, “Is today BAREFOOT day?” & she said, “Well, for our stress reduction class we have to walk barefooted for an hour.”
Boy, don’t college professors these days make the students do WEIRD things! *Sigh*
& how is walking barefooted therapeutic for stress reduction?
