Where did your stress comes from?

Stress can come from every facet of life - work, family, society, self. To me, the stresses I encounter so far are from work, but come to think of it, most of them are self-induced. I have this habit of procrastination. As a result, I often delay things that I should be doing and when the deadline is approaching, I will start to freak out. If only I learn to conquer this habit.

At present, most of my stress comes from work but not because I don't love my job but because I have a co-worker that I somehow can't tolerate. I get stressed from trying to avoid this person because just being in the same room with him annoys the hell out of me. I am even seriously thinking of quitting because of him. Anyway, other than that, I have major stress issues if I have a family problem like if my parents quarrel, I do get affected big time.

Usually my stress came from a family problem. I am really feeling down every time that a member of my family is having a hard time. Sometimes i think that if only i can transfer her current situation on me. I dont really wanted to see them depress and lonely.

My stress comes from life. There is good stress and bad stress. You must have balance. when You are out of balance thats when the bad stress will take over. Lower your expectations of those around you and enjoy the family and friend you have and balance out the stress. Mostly - lower your expections on yourself.

Most of my stress comes from my school.

From work most of the time, a staff that commit mistakes on her report,and sometimes from our love ones too, they might not intend to give us stress but they done it..

Hi careguarden, I used to be perfectionist myself. But over a period social stress caught up, and that started reflecting on my work. Based on my experience, I can say that people are not careless, per se. Something is generally eating them that makes them like that! Even when they try to ignore their work, and try to while away time joking or surfing it is a way to unwind the stress from other sources. There is no point in adding to that because it will only get worse! So try to address it at the basic levels, if you can. My stress comes from selfish expectations, shrewdness, harassing helpless people, cheating, rudeness, and such negative behavior towards me or towards others.

My stress usually comes from unreasonable, idiot, and narrow-minded persons. We can always find them sometimes on the streets, in our work place or even at home. I hope They will wake up soon for them not to spoil anyone's mood.

Like you I love my job. However, I get stressed out when my colleagues do not do their bit and I have to complete their tasks to meet deadlines. I finally found a way around that. I am the manager of a team and to motivate and spurt their level of work, I would discuss the agenda and deadline to be met. Then ask who would take on which part- let the team members chose their task and when they would submit it, failing which it would affect their appraisals and overall pay hike. It worked wonders.
