I Am So Explosive Lately – What Is Wrong With Me?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Saturday 27 February 2010 4:14 pm

I am so explosive lately – what is wrong with me?
I have never been like this before and really don’t know what is wrong with me. It started a few months ago. It may have something to do with the following:
1) I have been working for a company for three years and I am good at what I do. My old manager was going to promote me. She was given a different department and a new guy took over. He hired a friend of his to take the position I was supposed to get and both of them are idiots and don’t know what they are doing. I don’t think there is any management in the department and I am getting angry at work. My so called ‘boss’ seems to be in competition with me or something. Any time I have an idea – he’ll say ‘Oh, I was going to do it this way’ – and he is usually wrong.
2) I am questioning my husbands true feelings for me. He doesn’t seem to be interested in being affectionate anymore. We took a walk in the park and we have a secret romantic spot. We went there today and instead of kissing me I got a peck on the lips and he seemed ‘forced’ into it.
3) I work full time and make breakfast, lunch, dinner, food shop and care for the cats (no kids). We just moved and he complains that we haven’t finished unpacking yet. He asks when I am going to clean the house because the toilets haven’t been cleaned in a month. His brother calls me a slob. – WELL, If I cook and do the food shopping and take care of the cats – why can’t he help clean? Or am I wrong? (And YES – we have had this discussion before and he knows how I feel)
So, Lately I have been very explosive especially towards my husband. Today I made breakfast, lunch, dinner, ran a few errands, cleaned cats litter boxes. He didn’t help clean up afterwards. He went out with a few friends for a few hours came home and sat on the couch watching TV for hours. While I was working out he asked me to get him a glass of water since I want to excersice and lose weight. At the time it didn’t bother me and I thought it was funny and got him the water. Then – for some reason I started stewing about it and asking myself ” Why didn’t he get it? I wouldn’t be so stressed out if he got the water himself. Can’t he see I am working out?” Then, I asked him to help out clearing the dinner dishes. He said “I’ll get it tomorrow. I am used to being a slob from being around you.” That did it – and I went off on him for an hour screaming and yeling about how I am sick of being called a slob and that I work too so can’t he help out – how come he didn’t get his own water and I said if he got being a slob from me then I got being lazy from him and he kept saying he’s sick of hearing me yell and shut up or go to bed. He also said that he ‘asked me to get him a glass of water” and he said I could have said NO. So he just doesn’t get it. It made me more mad that he didn’t acknowledge why I was so mad. I just feel so stressed out lately. Why can’t he get his own glass of water? Why can he sit there and watch TV and relax while I am running around doing stuff.
Ok – he has a point – I could just say no get it your self- but for some reason I got it then stewed about it later.
ANyhow – my point is maybe I have a reason to feel the way I do – maybe I don’t. I just wanted other people’s opinions about it all. Is something wrong with me or are all the situations starting to get to me? I mean – I used to handle stress very well. I used to have patients and tact and know how to handle a situation without yelling and screaming. I used to just be able to talk. NOW I fly off the handle screaming and I know it isn’t helping the relationship with my husband. I yell at him for no reason sometimes. What is going on?

Can Outsourcing Be A Consequence Of “extra Burden Of Tasks, Conflict With Boss Or Colleagues, ..?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Wednesday 24 February 2010 4:15 pm

threats to job security, constant change, tight deadlines, micro management, harrassment, discrimination and lack of promotional opportunity”.
These are typical factors that “stress” supposedly can result from.
If these problems are rife in the organisation, then few people, if anyone, will be noticing even if outsourcing is occurring. Everyone in the Sydney office may be thinking “there are 64 people in the Canberra office making sure that all the functionality in the software is really present, so the project is going ok”.
But if people have the stresses mentioned in the question, there won’t be a critical mass of people who might notice if for example the 64 positions in Canberra were about to be replaced by three positions to rubber-stamp everything.

Am I Being Messed With?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Wednesday 17 February 2010 4:15 pm

My abusive BF and I broke up. He had PLENTY of chances to get help and work things out with me and he never did, but has been telling me for the past 10 months that he loves me and can’t live without me. Words and no actions. I get emails, crying phone calls etc. But he won’t go to anger management or any kind of therapy. And he drinks too much. I left….the stress was too much.
I went to collect someof my things from the house today. He was at work. While I was there packing, an ex girlfriend of his called twice. He has call display and I knew her name. 10 minutes later she pulled up infront of the house, walked by my car,looked in it for awhile and then came to the door and knocked for about 5 minutes. I didnt answer. What for?
My question is……what the f*&^?
She knew he wasn’t home….his car wasnt there but mine was?
Is he trying to get a rise out of me or is she?

Sick Of Dealing With Husband’s Moodiness!?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Thursday 4 February 2010 10:14 am

My husband has been under a lot of stress at work ever since he started the management position. I notice he has a hard time seeing the positive lights in people, all he focus on are the negativities around him.
I have been keeping up with the supportive wife role for a long time now, but he is becoming more and more moody, and I am REALLY tired of dealing with it (he works, I run a successful business from home, and we have a small child together. I do the cooking, cleaning, majority of the work with our child, because I want him to relax from a long day at work).
He’s not depressed, not bi-polar, other than the moody outbursts, we really enjoy each other’s company. I need some advice on what to do the next time he snaps (getting quite frequently now a days), I tried ignoring his anger, listening to his point of view, not get effected by his foul moods, but it’s getting real old and I don’t want our child to think it’s ok to have angry ourbursts. Thanks in advance for your inputs!

Environmental Management
Geography
Geographic Information Sciences
Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences
Agronomy
Horticulture
Biology
What should i do? I’m really starting to stress, I would like to not worry about the job prospects and be able to have a job like 50 miles from home or 5000 miles away, know what i mean? and also have decent pay or the opportunity for traveling, I gueass it doesn’t have to be environment, but just something earth like and natural resources and things like that. thanks a lot!

Whats The Deal With My Head?

Posted by admin | Stress Management | Saturday 30 January 2010 4:13 pm

ever since my brother learned how to talk he has been telling on me. bugging me. getting me in trouble for stuff i didn’t do. and that’s when the headaches started. i get these pains in the back of my head, and in my neck. everything i say, he tells on me, and then, i get in trouble. i dont have much of a social life anymmore, cuz i ahve to entertain the idiot for like 2 hours a day, and nobody but him gets to use the 5ft,3ft flatscreen tv. yea, when im not entertaining him, he is watchiong tv, or playing video games. he makes these stupid faces, and they really piss me off. then when i tell my mom that i didnt do it, she tells me not to talk so fast, and that i have anger management. i think it’s really unfair how he gets everything he wants. before this i got like straight D’s in school, and now i find myself getting honor roll, and getting A’s. so is it stress or something? if so how do i releive it?
