i’m so sorry you’re feeling so down hugs and support xxx

Tell us a little more about this,
"I worked all weekend and dont see and end in sight to this." My office received an unusual amount of work during the last 3 months, and generally handled it. Suggestions,

1. First work on priorities, which can be what things can be done reasonably quickly or based upon importance.

2. A smart boss rewards and acknowledges good employees.

3. Recognize if there is too much work, that is not your problem, particularly if you are working hard. I have a family member in an important executive position with a Fortune 500 company, he works hard but also plays hard, leaving the work at the end of the day.

4. Set aside some free time for yourself.

5. If your boss or company are difficult and you have good skills, then keep quiet but create a plan where you may find another position.

Good luck and hope things go better.

I am so sorry you are struggling with depression. Sounds like your work might be a trigger. When I feel that overwhelmed feeling, I have to give myself a break and do my deep breathing techniques - 557 - 5 deep breaths in, hold the breaths for five and seven deep breaths out letting go of the anxious and overwhelmed feelings.

What is making you feel overwhelmed? Do you have a list of things written down?

I find if I keep things in my head then I begin to feel overwhelmed. But once I right it down and then prioritize what has to be done for the day. I feel a bit better.

After years of struggling with depression and being a perfectionist. I have learned I can't do everything all the time and I there is no such thing as perfect. Some things just have to wait to get done.

Can you look at what you feel overwhelmed with, jot it down, and then mark what can wait till another time? If not maybe you can discuss this with your boss. I will be praying you give yourself a break, don't be hard on yourself, do your best because that is all you can do, and remember no one is perfect... we all need down time. If you need to chat feel free to pm me. Hugs and God Bless

Hi- I’m so sorry you feel this way.

You worked all week, you need to have time for yourself. Practice self-care by doing things that you will enjoy.

Walking in the park for 30 minutes is one of my ways of taking care of myself especially with sunlight. That’s my natural medicine for uplifting my mood.

Do you have a friend you can share your feelings with? Talk to someone you can trust. You can also write down your thoughts in your journal, it’s like talking to a friend. Feel free to share in the group anytime about anything. I hope you will be comforted here.

Please keep us posted, God bless.

I work a full time job during the week. I need surgury that I have to pay for out of pocket which requires me to work all weekends. $10,000.00 medical bill is alot of weekends with no rest. The work itself is not the issue, it is the amount of work which is required at this time. The medical issue that I have also makes me fatigued and tired on top of the extra work load. Surgury in 30 days and even then Ill need to recover. The recovery will be the rest. The job I do on the weekends will have to be put on the back burner after surgury till I physically heal as I won't be able to lift anything-but I do plan on going back to my weekly desk job just 2 days after surgury.

I will be keeping you in my prayers. Sounds like you have so much on your plate. Please try to find time to rest for yourself. What does a break or rest look for you? How are you are able to fit that in your busy days? Sounds like you are a very strong person and a hard worker. Telling yourself encouraging things like after the surgery you will have more energy and feel better. Keep our eyes on hope and a future is what helps us keep going. I am here if you ever need to chat. My heart goes out to you and your situation. Hugs

I'm here if you need someone to vent too.

Im sorry that you are feeling this way, but i usually take time for myself when im not working and do something that helps helps me relax and not get so overwhelmed. You have to find that you time no matter what unless the feeling will rush up on you at once and make you have a panic attack. I hope that everything gets better for you and i will be praying for you im here if you need someone to talk to.
