I used to love my job, and I was excited to go to work. Now management has changed, and the environment has become more dictator like. Added to that, all of my close co-workers quit. Within a short space of time everything changed. I’m biding my time until I find another job, but I’m so stressed right now with the idea of spending so much time in this environment. I can’t sleep. I get sick more often and I don’t smile anymore.

I’ve been feeling really depressed, off and on and crying and all that good stuff, but it’s all really little things and I don’t know why I’m a high school freshman that is beating myself up so badly for having a 78 in my AP class, it seems like it shouldn’t bug me so much, and I don’t know really what my problem is, I guess I’m just overstressed and confused and whatnot, but please, I’d appreciate some suggestions on maybe stress management, or maybe someone helping me figure out what, if anything is wrong with me.

What I suspect is that the lack of care and affection that he went through during his terrible childhood stimulates his creativity and foster his will to search for an ultimate truth in natural philosophy.
So if he had a normal childhood, full of care, love and a happy and complete family, would he still achieve that much?
Thanks in advance.

lol! Not everyone is an unhappy nutbag but generally, how do you stay sane, happy and normal in a world that has lots of those other things in it?
I mean don’t those things seep in eventually or at least create a negative environment which can shape you to be worse, etc?
I’m sure it affects us all on some level, even subconsciously.

My Wife is at work and is texting me from there, but she’s not being so lovey. She’s talking about what she wants to eat on her break with me, how much her paycheck was, if our parking ticket was paid and what photo she wants to have of us for our Christmas photo in cards. Is this normal for a perfectly happy Wife? I think i might be being a little silly because i’m young, but i get afraid when she doesn’t call me a pet name or say lovey things over texts, i feel like i’m turning into just a best friend, is this silly?

I noticed during my illness and now years later, I lost a lot of self esteem and confidence. It is still hard for me to have self esteem and confidence. Many people try and bring it up or put me in positions but get frustrated when I cannot and stay the same sort of person. I cannot be assertive or have a lot of confidence or self esteem or communication skills when it is holding me back. I have accepted who I am and what I can and cannot do. Why can’t others?
Why do people think I am lazy when I just know what I can and cannot do, and refuse to do anything which is setting me up to fail?

I am happy, but people always say I am not and try to build my self esteem. They always organise things to help me. They just make it worse. When they are unable to, they get frustrated.
I want to do what makes me happy. I know if I am to have certain types of jobs I need to have a lot higher self esteem, but want to do what I want to do when I need to do it.
Why do people try and help so much?
