How to de-stress when our jobs make us crazy

superisa00

So I know we are supposed to limit stress when we are pg, but life tends to get in the way. My job stresses me out sooo much. I try to let things go and take it "one day at a time" etc, but I find myself more and more distressed each week. If you have any good de-stressing pointers, I would be glad to hear them.

I play World of Warcraft. It's an unbelievable stress reliever....but if you're not into computer games, it may not be for you.

I also go home and try to take a nap every day if I'm tired, then just veg out and watch TV for an hour or two.

Hmmm I'm not sure. Usually when I get stressed, that's when I take my "Bump" timeouts and just don't think about work for a little haha...

Have you tried any natural remedies? I haven't so I can't speak for their effectiveness...but I know they exist.

I could use this advice too.  Manily I just try to work my hardest throughout the day.  If things aren't resolved or leaving me with stress in the evening I just tell myself, "there's nothing else you could have done today."  Have a cup of tea, take a warm bath and breath deeply.

You're not alone.  My job stresses me out quite a bit as well.  A couple of weeks ago I had a particularly bad week and by Friday I cried myself to sleep   So, when my boss called me the next Monday morning I jokingly asked him what he needed from me to be happy for the week so that I didn't have to talk with him anymore.  He took the (not so subtle) hint and relaxed a little.  If it's people and their demands that stress you out, and you have a good working relationship with them, try using a little humor to drop a few hints that you could use a little break from the stress. 

Good luck!!

I know this may sound corny but hoenstly when I am at work and get stressed about something or someone, the best thing I can do is get up and go for a walk and chit chat with a co-worker that I actually like or just go for a walk to get away from my desk. Helps a little bit.

i totally hear you!  this is when i really miss my wine!  nowadays i try to do something physical.  go to the gym or something, heck even going for a walk.  it just helps me burn some of that bad energy.

I've been taking walks to combat the stress or cooking a nice meal, one that takes me at least a 1/2 hour so that I can zone out, follow directions and not think for a little while!
