Community: Stressed
Each week, we gather our community’s wisdom. This week, we asked:
What are you stressed about?
"My relationship."
"Needing to do my work performance review and feeling like I didn't do 'enough.'"
"Quitting my job (even though I know it's a bad fit) and finding something that better aligns with my values."
"My friendships."
"My job. I really enjoy it but the pay is so low and I feel like I need to further my career. I’m torn between choosing enjoyment or career prospects."
"I am hiring someone for the first time. This makes me nervous wearing a new hat. Many questions are keeping me up at night: what if I don’t pick the right one? What kind of boss do I want to be?"
"Which direction to go (in life and profession)."
"What am I feeling stressed about right now? Navigating my child’s ADHD diagnosis and getting him the appropriate help and support."
