I think I'm on my 5th or 6th week cold turkey, I started to feel the tension creeping up again with headaches on Friday, but as the weekend progressed I started to feel better. I must admit I felt I had made a terrible mistake and I was going to start taking medication again.
I rode it out and when Saturday arrived I felt like the tension had been lifted. I think the stress started when I had a review with my manager on Friday, I've only been full time 2 months and I thought this was a bit quick for a review, so obviously I made more of the situation, possibly thinking I was going to get finished. I haven't performed my best cos I have little or no direction, this I raised in the meeting in a subtle manner, the manager realised that he needed to start showing me how the operation functioned so that I could get involved. I'm sure I will be fine, I went into the job really positive when I started and that seemed to drain out of me when I was getting alot of negativity, but the negativity was only bourne out my own mind, I must admit in this short period of time home life has been very unstable so the pressures from home were creeping in.
I think I need focus outside of work, my mind wanders when I'm not occupying it, my home life I realise I have to work at, I need focus on what makes me happy, I think I need to ride the rollercoaster of CHILLOUT!!!!!
Merry Xmas to everyone!
