Home stress and office stress have a meeting point everyday and if you suffer from both, you might have to deal with double trouble. We are the same people who are going to the office after a night of argument at home and there is therefore need for effective stress management. One example of office stress is when a co worker has affected your productivity and you have to take the blame and the shame. It is not easy handling the two and you need professional help if the condition becomes worse. Like in all other kinds of stress, you need to be aware of the fact that you need help. Being stubborn will not do the job. You must know the signs that inform you of looming stress.
The first one is a feeling of discouragement every time your are preparing to go to work and to come home from work. The zeal, enthusiasm or excitement that had been there, suddenly vanishes and you find yourself dragging yourself to and from work. The home is supposed to a be an island for escape and a place where positivity is center stage and when this is not so, you might not even have time to deal with your stress. Some people start to develop headaches or migraines which might see them resting in the bed with no plans to find out the root cause.
The situation can be made worse when there are little children constantly bothering you. When you realize there is a problem, you may not put your finger on stressor right away and visiting a doctor may be in order. Some questions about your past and behavior will be tabled forth and then you can get a diagnosis which will confirm stress at work and at home. The major remedy for the stress will be to take it easy and get your mind freed from all worries and they might get some medication to control the migraines. You are concerned about effective stress management and to deal with it, you will have to do a few things. The first thing is to establish what the stressor was exactly so that you can avoid and engage other questions in the future.
Therefore, this means that you have to come with a better way to deal with your family issues and work situation. People who have been seen to overcome this kind of stress have formed stress coping mechanisms which ensure that even if the stressors continue, your mind is somewhat immune to the effects of the stress. This does not mean that you become numb to your problems but, it simply means that you avoid the ones you cannot handle, accept the ones you can and adapt to whatever situation that you may find yourself in. These are some of the keys to effective stress management at home or at the work place. You must also consider how stress affects you personally and know what to do when the effects of stress starts to show. Know whether the kind of stress you might be having is harmful or helpful to you. Remember, stress can be managed effectively

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?
