About half a year ago I took on a(very) well- paying job in my own field.After 3 months my boss,an angry,aggressive bloke,who is mad as a box of frogs,asked me to take on the role of manager.I did,on the proviso,that it was on a three month trial...
Today ,I walked into yet another sh£t storm,and the boss blamed me,( ain't been there for two days!) That was it. I am never off the phone,my sleep is poor,and I suffer from poor appetite: food and sex! Neither have ever been a problem. Let's be frank, I am stressed! I told him to stick it where the sun don't shine!

I must say that I was astounded at his reaction.It seems that my predecessor had the same issue.He bottled it up and had a breakdown.I realised early on that my mental health was on the line,but thought I could handle it.I can't. The boss told me,nay,pleaded with me not to leave,as he needs a bloke with my experience.Fine.And I stay on the same money! He has a member of staff in mind to take the role on,( the one I thought of too),and that person is itching to do the job.
I walked in this evening with a smile.My wife noticed my change of mood.There is a lot of talk in the prepping world about positive mental attitude,and the ' Will To Live' etc.It is a valid point.PLEASE,if you have worries,anxiety etc. that you know are affecting your mental and physical health,then please,please talk.Your mental health is so important.
