1. Dealing with colleagues
Unfortunately we do have to deal with colleagues who might not be friendly or worse. Having to be exposed to that this can cause a lot of stress resulting in reduced job performance. There are a few ways to handle this kind this. First of all, decide if it is something that really bothers you or not. Sometimes just ignoring them is all you need to do your job effectively. When ignoring them does not work, you may want to try talking the situation out with them. Sometimes, they may not even know that they are coming across as being rude. Getting it out in the open can resolve a situation like this. If that does not help, you will have to go to your superior and tell them what is going on and that it has been affecting your work. It is then up to your superior to deal with the situation.
2. An unpleasant boss
Maybe it is not a colleague you need to deal with, but an unpleasant boss. Putting up with an unpleasant boss can be very stressful. You will want to try talking with that person first to see if that helps the situation. If that does not work, then you will have to go over their head to someone else and tell them what is going on. Keep a list of the things the boss has said to you that is unreasonable and share it with an senior person in the company. There is no reason to have to put up with this at your workplace. It will cause too much stress for you and make your job performance go down. Most companies will work with you to try to resolve this problem.
3. Huge workload
Having more work than you can handle can make you stressful. Take on only what you can handle at any one time. Ask for help from others and help them when they need it too. A lot of things can be accomplished when working as a team.
Learn what causes your stress at work and find out how to work deal with it. Your workplace can be a stressful environment, but do not let that stress get you down, have some stress busters up your sleeve!

Mental physical and emotional pain
By: Serenedy | 11-07-2008
I have bipolar 1 and I work at walmart. Last year in December, there was a blackout. It was the first one I've experienced and at the same time, I was worrying so much that I became paranoid. I was so scared my hands were shaking. I handled it pretty well, then that night, someone said something to set me off, and I had a full blown episode on the produce room floor. Yesterday, my first day back since my weekend, there was another Blackout. and I thought it was pretty weird because I'm having the same kind of problem I did last year, but this time it wasn't my dad's mental abuse that drove me to the limit; it was my assistant manager mark. He makes me feel like I'm never going to be good enough and it's pointless to even try. There are so many things in common with them and the way they treat me. It was so odd. Two blackouts, two freak-outs, and two major problems. It's weird how it all happened like that. I handled the second one better but I still had an episode at the end of the day. Is there any way I could train my mind to get more stable and physically and mentally stronger and more stable? Is there any way I could be the strong, persistent,and determined person I used to be?
