Do you have those days when you feel sick and tired of everything going on in your life? I am having one of those days. I have two jobs. I manage my business in the morning and am an employee in the afternoon til the evening. I am sick and tired of my company, my afternoon job. I am no longer happy but I need the additional income to pay the bills. I hate the pressure that my company brings, the number of hours required, the power tripper boss, the mightier than thou attitudes. Days like these magnifies the other aspects of my life which I am not happy with. I do not go along well with some people which I keep seeing everyday, making me sick and tired of where I reside. I am so sick and tired of going home late,exhausted from work and then having to wake up early to scramble for my morning job. I am sick of earning from my two jobs but not having savings. yeah, I know I am ranting. :( But i am just so tired of all of these. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

Well it is called burnout Arystine. www.alistapart.com/articles/burnout and mayoclinic.com/health/burnout are two fo the great sites you can check to and they give tips there on how you will be able to overcome your burnout. LOL, I am a crazy individual. I got burnout at school, I retire at the middle of school year. If I did not, all students will be affected whether I like or not. I was really so tired of almost everything. Everytime I wake up I feel like I did not rest at all, still tired. Have tried different ways of motivating ways for me to go to school. I bought a motorcycle, so I will get excited and my blood will really run in my veins when I ride my bike to dangerous roads. It was the medication for several years but did not last for long. OK, FINE! then file a retirement letter effective on the next month. LOL

I think you're right. I have been feeling burned out. I'm thinking of giving up my second job and take a risk. :) Thanks for the response.

then relax and be back on having the 2nd job again if you have recovered from your burning out. Good luck. You can do it. Go girl.

hello, dear! If you feel that you have exerted enough effort for both your jobs and yet it does not leave you something in the bank, then maybe you could try looking for other options. I mean, if you are not happy with your work environment, how can you become productive, right? I hope you'll feel better. It's just one of those days.....

Hello there, thanks for the response. :) Yes, I am thinking of looking for another job. I am not giving up my business because of the many potentials. But my job as an employee? I'm thinking of resigning, if not this year, early next year. I can no longer handle the stress. :(

You should really alo be thinking about your health. If the job has become too stressful for you to handle each day, then it is time to give it up. Your earning might not be even enough to cover your medical bills if you don't take care of yourself.

Oh yes, I've had my fair share of having one of these days. Usually it starts with how people seem to deliberately annoy me or make my life hell. Normally I can handle them pretty well but if it just so happen that I am not feeling very well that particular day then I can almost totally lose it.

Yes, that's how I felt. My boss seemed to deliberately annoy and pressure me that day. I was so mad and that feeling magnified everything else in my life that I am not happy with. :( Thanks for the response. :)

Yea, tomorrow is a better day. But you have to take a good decision for your life. Decision determines destiny. You cannot rise above an average person if you stay with peanut job.Though fair for starting, but you have to think of something else. You can start blogging,forex,info-marketing,writing article and so on. You own your time for all these jobs. No controller, no boss, you are your own boss. Learn any of them or inbox me for materials on any of them and i be glad to assist.

Hello, thanks for the response. I am thinking of giving up my second job and concentrating on online jobs. Any suggestions? :) That way I can still manage my business and do online jobs on my free time. :)

You'll be more sick if you don't have the money to pay the bills. But as you said, this is just one of those days, so tomorrow will might be a brighter day! Just give yourself a time to be happy sometimes by doing things you want, experience new things. Love yourself a little bit more and careless about the people who gives you negativity.

Hi, I do understand how you feel. Sometimes, I exactly feel the same. There are times that I feel like I hate my husband and I am so sick and tired that this year, he is not earning enough to cover all the expenses that really put me into so much trouble and shame. I hate borrowing money from others, I told myself I will never do that ever. But since our budget was no longer enough, I had to borrow money from a colleague and every payday, I feel so ashamed of myself every time I would go to her and pay. I skip meals to save money and eat food that I do not like (which really makes me sick). But what can I do? Should I break my husband's neck for this? Whenever I felt this way, I would just tell my husband that when he received the money for the books he made this year, he has to give me the whole amount and hope that things will get better next year. They say that life is like wheel, sometimes we're at the top, sometimes at the bottom. There is nothing constant and so for sure, every thing will change including our present situations. Well, I just really hope it is for the better.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have experienced that too, to borrow money and pay every payday. :( It is one of the aspects which makes me feel exhausted of everything. I am blessed with wonderful people in my life but I am sick of many situations in my life. :(

i think you need more inspiration as i read your story i feel that there something missing in you that make you feel tired.. and unhappy there other people even though they are struggled to sustain their everyday needs they are happy what ever pressure they encounter ..and you know what? because they have an inspiration to keep go on.

I am inspired. I have a wonderful husband, and I love my mom and brother so much. Yes, there is something missing. I think the thing missing is "change". I am tired of my second job. I am already three years in the company. I think it's time to move on and resign or else I will have more days like this.

I feel you! There are times that I feel sick and tired of everything. And may be it's because the effect of depression. :)

I think everyone has those days. Me, too - even if I don't have a job, and still at university and living with my parents. I have less to worry about, but still, I have depressed days... especially as I know have some problems with the university administration office, because all the people working there are incompetent droids... and the weather, and when I start thinking about the point of my life... I know the feeling :(.

Most of us might have experienced such state at some point or the other. Think of a situation where someone is jobless ...you still have something in hand & this struggle would definitely make you a matured & experienced person in near future. All the best in life. Life is like a wheel. It rotates bringing sorrow as well as joy.

Well sometimes that happens to me. That is because of the tedious routine. I think you should break the routine. Go to a fitness center or go out in mall or visit some places you havent been before. Do something you are not usually does. Remember too that your job is a blessing. Some people don't have jobs and some are having a hard time looking for the right job. Have a nice day!

Thanks for the response. :) that is a nice suggestion. Because of my busy schedule, sometimes I forget to do new things that would give me positive change. I guess I should try doing new things to break the routine.

We all have those days! Some more than others. Lol. I had one of those days today actually. Not with my job but with family members causing ridiculous drama that no one needed... I am sick and tired of people having nothing good to say about others and the talking behind their backs. It is so immature and uncalled for. I am so sick of it all...

I have a small business but I wish I have a job in the afternoon too like you. You are lucky to have a job and work at the same time though your coworkers are not so good. I guess all of us are experiencing or having bad hair days. Its a figure of speech. I know you will feel better again.

Everyone feels the same as you, in-fact I failed a lot of interviews for CSR and I'm thinking to give-up but still deep in my heart I believe some day I will get hired and start working so that I can help my mother. Don't stop believing, never stop dreaming because that's the only way we can cope up with our personal situations.

Yes i do feel it this way sometimes and all i do to get cured and released is to sit quietly and do some writing stuff. This really helps me as it diverts my mind to a world which i design
