i have to answer emails all the time
for work.

and its very hard for me to cope

its like i should have all the answers

and i dont

i get a really sick feeling when i have to do it.
if i leave it a while its worse because there are even more to cope with

and the more i reply to the more they send its like an atom bomb effect.

i feel like i have to be drunk to even take it all on

I have the same problem, and I had to leave my job because I was stressed out not just from the work, but the stress/anxiety of having to open letters that had "problems" in them. The letters would stack up until my desk disappeared.....I would at least start looking to see what else might be out there.....Take Care.

What makes them so hard to answer?
Lack of knowledge?

My last job really stressed me out like that and it wasn't that I got a shit-ton of emails, it was more like I worked for someone I could never please. So, I took a different job and my anxiety level is way less. I have told myself that the moment I start hating my job like that again, I will start looking for something else. We have to change what makes us unhappy--in order to be happy. Hang in there sister and start sending out resumes! Good Luck!!!! ((hugs))-J

hi
i make stuff and sell lots of them
but its all creative stuff i make

i am creative
if my job was to be creative all day fine.
i create things that are hard to make,

its all new in the ideas side so has unknowns
but every one expects it to be perfect.

its very stress full in the way of i feel like im walking around in the dark

if some one said make a light bulb
you would know what it looks like

i make things that i dont know what it looks like or how it would work or how it could be made and i have no $$$ back up it has to be really simple and cheap ..
...its easy after when you see it..."ho i would just do this"

but the big problem on top of that is
im not a sales person
so all the sales side is very hard
and all the questions and demands
i sell world wide

i quit my last job at xmass
it was to much stress.....

so this is the new one !!!
