Help…My New Job Is Stressing Me Out
July 26, 2009 Starting A New Job, Stress Management No CommentsQuestion:
“I’m only 3 weeks into my new job and I’m exhausted and stressed already.
I’m suffering from information overload and can’t sleep as I’m worried about all the things I need to learn.
I’m so distracted with helping my colleagues that I don’t have enought time to work on my work and learning. I’m trying to be helpful, make friends and be a good team player but in doing so worry that I’m diluting my progress.
I’m trying to leave the office at sensible hours and not work silly hours like I used to in my last job. But I’m constantly thinking about work outside office hours and so feeling stressed and exhausted the next day. Which makes me less productive and so creates a viscious cycle.
My boss is great and tells me I’m doing well. But it doesnt feel like it – i’m tired, stressed and at times overwhealmed.
What should I do?”
