Feel like stress is going to defeat me !
 

Aha ! I'm not having a good month... I'm full of stress... Experiments not working... Too many papers and power point presentations to prepare... And the cherry on the cake ?

My phDs acting like queens and not helping me ! :( this is so frustrating... They made me feel so bad and sad today...

I need to organise with the 3 of them my final presentation of the semester... Aha, NONE have time for me... They treated me bad when I was trying to sort that meeting out...

Argh...

Feel so exhausted...

I could sleep the next 100 years... :(

One of those days when I really hate my career and question why I'm doing here ! I feel like I can't do anything correct ! :(

As this wasn't enough, one of my 3 bosses scares me... I hate to talk to her... Ugh :(

will you get to spend some time with the family for the holidays?
I am sorry it has been a rough month for you.
somehow stay focused on the things that need to get done and try to ignore the rest.
((((HUGS))))

Dear Majo, :hug: :hug: :hug:

In three weeks you will be on Christmas vacation!

You can handle a few morons and some pressure for a few weeks if you know it is going to be over. Try to be strict about your sleep. Sleep can help.

I know what you are going through. I am counting down the days for my Christmas vacation-- December 18.

Aw, Bizi and Mari, that was very sweet :hug: :hug: Thank you !!!

Im feeling terribly bad tonight... migraine and fibromyalgia all courtesy if the stress I had this morning with those arrogant women I have to face again tomorrow...

Aw... I feel coward... :(

Hey Blue... I'm really sorry you are having such a rough time!!! It is so NOT what you need right now!!!

I may be way off base here... and please feel free to tell me so...but... have you ever told them how you feel when they act the way they are acting toward you?

I used to work with some women with who had really strong personalities... I kept quiet because they scared the beegeebees out of me... finally I had to speak up because I really needed their help and couldn't continue my work without them.

It wasn't easy, I started out by saying...You may not believe this.. but I feel afraid to talk with you ladies. It frightens me and/or makes me feel frightened or makes me feel bad when you do this, or do that, or you speak this way, or say this or that...

They couldn't deny my feelings. It opened up a whole new work relationship... they didn't know they were making me feel bad of uncomfortable.

:hug: My heart is aching... wanting to help but not knowing how.

I really don't know what to do... I'm so scared :( I need to ring those bad women tomorrow again :( Don't want to... Seriously... :(

I hate to make phone calls and now with thse arrogant phDs even worse... One of them cut my call today because she was so busy :eek: what was I supposed to do !? Ring again !? How long after that ? Argh... Feel like throwing up ! :(

feel the fear and do it anyway. yes call her back.
With thought, write out a script of what you want to say then read it to her.
this will help keep you focused.
good luck tomorrow!
hugs to you tonight!

Aw Abbie !! I think we were posting at the same time... :o

It felt so good to find your message !
Yeah exactly !! I would love to let them know how I feel... I feel panic !! I would also love to tell people I'm sick, so, everytime they treat me like they do, I loose hair, feel pain and get a migraine... Oh yeah, and need and overdose of my pills just to try to ease the pain... But I don't think those morons would understand you know... :(

I cant even imagine myself speaking to them about my problems... They are always busy, with their hypocrital smiles... They are pathetic... One refused to talk to me saying she was busy when she was looking at pics oF her last week vacations !! :eek: That's the people that make science in my country... Awesome...

I'm... Desperated... Dissapointed... Sad... Mad... Frustrated... Argh... :(

Bizi... I will follow your advice! Hopefully she won't cut the call before I can say a word... :(
