Let's talk about work stress! LOH Contest #182
đź’• Hello Hive Community! đź’•
Hi Girls! Back here again in this community and in this weekly contest. This topic caught my attention since I read the contest post, as it defines my thoughts around the whole last year and to let go, you have to talk about things, it's something I always say. So, clarifying a bit, I don't work in an office anymore, well, I don't work anymore haha, but I have a lot of experiences to draw on to answer these questions and give my opinion on the topics.
Hi Girls! De nuevo acá en esta comunidad y en este concurso semanal. Este tema me llamó la atención desde que leà el post del concurso, ya que define mis pensamientos al rededor de todo el año pasado y para soltar, hay que hablar de las cosas, es algo que siempre digo. Asà que, aclarando un poco, ya no trabajo en oficina, bueno, ya no trabajo jaja, pero tengo muchas experiencias en las cuales basarme para responder estas preguntas y dar mi opinión sobre los temas.
Something to emphasize about my personality is that I tend to stress easily about everything, problems of being a hypothyroid girl. So when I was working in an office (my first real job) and I had difficulties such as backlog, not getting something right, having to change content or other things, I used to stress out a lot. Sometimes I would externalize my stress, many other times I would shut everything up and in my mind there was a constant struggle, that's what happened the most. And because of all the stress I had last year, I was never in good health, at least never 100%, I always had something, whether it was noticeable or not. And today my mental health is hanging by a thread, honestly speaking. For a long time I was begging to do some of my work at home (I worked with marketing, content manager, it was perfectly possible) but it didn't happen and when it was about to happen, I decided to leave.
Algo a recalcar de mi personalidad, es que yo suelo estresarme fácilmente por todo, problemas de ser hypothyroid girl. AsĂ que cuando estaba trabajando en oficina (mi primer trabajo real) y tenĂa dificultades como trabajo acumulado, que no me saliera algo bien, tener que cambiar contenidos u otras cosas, solĂa estresarme demasiado. En ocasiones exteriorizaba mi estrĂ©s, otras muchas veces me callaba todo y en mi mente habĂa una lucha constante, eso era lo que más pasaba. Y debido a todo el estrĂ©s que tuve el año pasado, nunca me encontraba bien de salud, por lo menos nunca al 100%, algo tenĂa siempre, se notaba o no. Y hoy en dĂa mi salud mental pende de un hilo, honestamente hablando. Por mucho tiempo rogaba hacer parte de mi trabajo en casa (trabajaba con marketing, content manager, se podĂa a la perfecciĂłn) pero no se daba y cuando ya estaba a punto de suceder, decidĂ irme.
And this question is answered by continuing the story from the previous paragraph:
Leaving that job was one of the hardest things I've ever done, because it was my whole life, I think outside of Hive or Makeup, I hadn't done a profession that I loved so much. It was really my escape from the everyday, from my boring life at home, I loved creating, that the work was SO creative, working with brands and so on. And I was very doubtful of this, but it's just that leaving the house to just go to the office sometimes helps too, no matter how hard the work is. Yes it was very overwhelming at times, I knew when I went in, but not when I left, the work was half endless and I had thousands of responsibilities, but on good days it was my escape.
Y esta pregunta se responde continuando la historia del párrafo anterior:
Dejar ese trabajo fue una de las cosas más difĂciles que he hecho, porque era mi vida entera, creo que fuera de Hive o el Makeup, no habĂa realizado una profesiĂłn que amara tanto. Era realmente mi escape a lo cotidiano, a mi aburrida vida en casa, amaba crear, que el trabajo fuese TAN creativo, trabajar con marcas y demás. Y yo dudaba mucho de esto, pero es que salir de casa para simplemente ir a la oficina a veces tambiĂ©n ayuda, por muy fuerte que sea el trabajo. Si era muy agobiante a veces, sabĂa cuando entraba, pero no cuando salĂa, el trabajo era medio infinito y tenĂa miles de responsabilidades, pero en los buenos dĂas era mi escape.
I once heard a woman on tiktok say that "work saved her life" because even if she was dying inside, she would get ready, get dressed up and empower herself to go out. And yes, I think that's true because many times I lived it. But also when the work environment is not good, when there are too many demands or when you simply have too much work, it can sink you a little bit. Health problems, both mental and physical, are present, it will always take its toll, you have to be very attentive to that. And well, here are my little opinions on the matter, see you soon!
Una vez escuche a una mujer en tiktok decir que "el trabajo le salvo la vida" porque asĂ se estuviera muriendo por dentro, se preparaba, se arreglaba y se empoderaba para salir. Y sĂ, creo que eso es cierto porque muchas veces lo vivĂ. Pero tambiĂ©n cuando el ambiente laboral no es bueno, cuando hay demasiada exigencia o cuando simplemente tienes demasiado trabajo, te puede hundir un poco. Los problemas de salud, tanto mental como fĂsicos, se hacen presente, siempre te va a cobrar factura, hay que estar muy pendientes con eso. Y bueno, hasta aquĂ mis pequeñas opiniones al respecto, nos leemos pronto!

Glad you went through it all and had gotten over them.
Office jobs are always toxic, so many prefer working at home..
It is still better to choose what you truly love doing, rather than push yourself to work just to make a living. It feels different when you go to work because you love what you are doing, than you go to work because you need to feed yourself, pay bills etc.. the pressure and stress are lesser, at least, that's what I know .

Just like you, I got easily stressed up and messed up about work especially when it comes to time management. I usually get to overthink easily and it's really difficult for me to overcome it. But I am trying so hard and helping myself to breathe and rest once in a while through traveling with my loved ones, and I guess it helps a lot.
