With work and without work.

When I am overburdened with work, I get irritated and often misbehave with others but when I have no work in hand or nothing to do, I feel extremely bored, life becomes unbearable to me. Do you all have the same feeling?

hi doctor didi, i have more or less the same kind of feeling that you experience. When i have too much work, i'll complain that there is too much work and like what you say, i'll get irritated too. However, when there is no work, i'll get lazy and hope that there will be more things for me to do. I think this is just life. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we should have a balanced life. Incorporate both work and play into our daily activities.

Hi Doctordidi, I do not feel the same way. When I was working more than 14 hours a day, I enjoy my work, and look forward to Sunday, the only day when I did not need to work. When I was jobless, I enjoyed my free time. Either way, life is enjoyable. I think it is just in the mind. As long as you can change your thought, you will think differently. No point wishing for sun when it is raining hard. No point wishing for snow when the sun is scorching hot. Just make use of whatever weather, and enjoy it.

I can understand it. Actually we spend most of our best time at work. When we go off work, it is already late and it is dark outside. This feeling already makes me upset. So if there are a lot of work, I will be tired and feel worse. A smart boss should know when to give break to the employees. It will be beneficial for both. I love China

I sometimes or most of the time get tired of tedious work load. I keep the stress away by reading some motivational quotes and having positive mindset. Having a small chat and laugh with friends in the office will certainly help us to get rid of being moody at work. On the other hand, having no work or doing nothing really makes us bored. However, we need to have some slack for some time to relax our tired mind and body and prepare for the next round of work.

No I don't. Lot of work makes me more active (even if I don't like it and get tired of it). No work is fine too, I have always something to do. I keep myself busy, way too busy. Sometimes I get tired of myself and wish I would just do nothing for some time (hours).

I get irritated when I am coming up on deadlines. The pressure from other things demanding my attention, taking me away from my task makes me angry. I dont really see that I take to misbehaving. Now I also become extremely bored when I dont have anything to do. Thats why I am always doing some kind of project. And usually more than one at a time since I tend to get bored with just one. ~C~

Nope bro. I can handle my emotion in good or bad times. When I have too much work, I take deep breath and walk out for a couple of minutes to release tension. When I have no work to do, I turn on my pc and start mylotting. Lol. So, nothing is boring.

I've not had an actual job for over five years, and I have to admit that it isn't something that I miss because of the fact I've been spending the last several years raising my two children. With that said, when the children aren't at home I really do have a tendency to get bored because I have no one that is able to occupy my time. With that said, I do have a tendency to find things that I can do when they aren't home in order to keep myself busy.

That is rather a common dynamic. When I have a lot of things to do, where I have much work to be done, I want to scream and yank my hair out in frustration. I have a lot of things that I really do need to be done to say the very least and it is going to be agonizing. However, when I don't have anything to do, there are times where I sink right into a bored funk. Life tends to rather be like that sometimes. When we are busy, we long for a break. When things tend to go down and there is nothing to do, I wish we were rather busy. It is something that is rather interesting. There are just many ways where people will never be satisfied and I think that we're either going to be too busy or not busy enough. There is no happy medium.

Yes you are right. Its same with me. I think we are now addicted to work burden, yet overburden of work is irritating. But that's the life and it is the way it is. Ups and Downs are always there.

The best thing you can do is just find some hobby that you really like and if you feelling bored you can do that. I also do this on this way, because if you dont relax enough life is boring and meaningless. I only have unbearable feelings when i am sick because than i dont have to do anything. So my anser on your question, i have sometime unbearable felling but that is only a few times a year.

I think we should always be thankful that we have work when a lot of peoples does not have or lost jobs, I know what you mean and I experience this too sometimes when I'm tired but when I think of the blessings and how it provides for my family, it gets the irritation out and replaced by eagerness to perform better.

I feel overburden when I need to meet the deadline and there are still a lot more to do. I tend to snap even over small thing and try to avoid contact with others as much as possible to avoid anger misdirection. Thankfully my boyfriend understand this. When I work on normal basis, I got get irritated much. I don't even have time to feel bored as well as the work seems endless for now.
