How do you handle pressure from your workplace?

[Samuel75]

Pressure was mounted on me recently at work and I messed up big time. What do you do when you are under pressure either from work or even in a relationship?

[Spencer10]

Well take a deep breath relax my body... use the stress effectively to do a better job. Stress and pressure can be used effectively to focus a person. All the while keeping some perspective at the same time. so the stress does not overwhelm you.

[Samuel75]

Yes,
I think I will go with this.

Try and suppress my innate desire to tell the small-minded management and other staff, to fuck off. To shove their poxy job up their arseholes!

You've just got to look after yourself and keep some boundaries. Make sure you use your evenings and weekends to chill and take your mind off things. Use your annual leave to give you a bit of perspective. Try not to do too much because you never get appreciated anyway. Last year I covered a bunch of evenings and my manager basically didn't give any acknowledgement of the crazy stress I was under.

Look for other jobs if the environment is that toxic. But no job is worth your mental health.

They can't pressure me. They know I'll find another job and I'll just leave. I don't let them stress me out. It wasn't always like that. I had to find my own confidence and a job that fits before I could be chill like that.

Depends on the workplace, I had many jobs, some of them had lots of pressure, whilst some were kind of easy.

I dissociate.

[Samuel75]

Really?
What of your kind of work doesn't allow you to disassociate?

[EmmiL]

I'll try my best
