Your Job May Have Negative Effects on Your Mental Health
Your job could be wreaking havoc on your long-term health.
A group of psychologists have shared some tell-tale signs that your job is having a negative impact on your mental health and could be quietly causing anxiety and depression.
1- You are not sleeping properly:
If you’re having difficulty getting to sleep or are waking up early, it might be because you have too much on your mind.
2- You are making mistakes:
Making careless or silly mistakes can be a sign that you don’t have enough head space.
3- You are short-tempered:
Stress can give us a short fuse and can reduce our patience.
4- You are unable to concentrate:
Stress can put us into fight or flight mode, a feeling of panic, which can leave us unable to maintain focus on one thing for long.
5- You feel tearful or emotional:
Everything can feel just too much when we are stressed.
6- You have lost your sense of humour:
If life has become too serious and you have lost your sense of fun, your job could be the problem.
7- You feel like you don’t care anymore:
Burnout happens when we are stressed, and one symptom is a lack of caring about customers, products or patients while at work.
8- You wake up each morning with a feeling of dread:
Waking up and feeling anxious about the day ahead, or simply not wanting to get out of bed, are signs that you may need to seek professional counseling.
