@dr.kikiramsey: Signs Your Work Stress Has Gone Too Far ⬇️ Stress at work is normal. But at some point, it stops being "just stress." As a positive psychologist and career coach, I see people push through this for years because they think it's normal. It's not. Here are 3 signs your work stress has gone too far: 1. You can't recover anymore. The weekend isn't enough. Vacation isn't enough. You take a day off and come back just as exhausted as when you left. If rest isn't restoring you, pay attention. 2. It's showing up in your body. You're not sleeping. You're getting headaches. Your stomach is always bothering you. I once came home convinced I had ulcers. I didn't, but my body was sounding the alarm. Stop calling it "just stress" when your body is screaming for change. 3. Your whole life revolves around surviving work. Sundays dreading Mondays. Weekdays just trying to make it to Friday. Weekends spent recovering, only to do it all over again. That's not a life. That's survival mode. Work stress has gone too far when it's not just affecting your workday anymore. It's affecting your entire life. So ask yourself: am I building a life I love, or am I just surviving this job? 💬 Which sign hit home for you? Drop the number below. And if this is you, share your story with me on the Career Rescue Hotline so we can figure out your next steps together. 💛 #MentalHealthAtWork #Burnout #CareerCoach #PositivePsychology #DrKikiRamsey #WorkplaceWellness #CareerAdvice #CareerRescueHotline

Financial stress is the main cause of my work stress. How am I making more than I ever have in life- but still barely making it? Return on the investment of work stress isn’t worth it- but a less stressful job won’t cut it money wise

Needed to hear this today. My coworkers immediately noticed my under eye bags and weight loss upon walking in this morning. Only problem is - been applying elsewhere for months and NOTHING. There’s nowhere to go!

I think a lot of us would LOVE to “change something,” but what do you do when you’re already struggling to maintain the bare minimum in this economy? Golden handcuffs are real. You can’t just quit a toxic job when you have bills, benefits & responsibilities &especially while thousands are being laid off. You're a single parent with zero help. There has to be a bridge between “I can’t keep doing this” & “I can afford to leave.” What’s the solution in the meantime?

it's even worse cause there's nobody to replace me when I'm on vacation so I always stress knowing I'll come back to twice the work... vicious circle..

People have to learn, the workforce executives don’t care about you whatsoever, you’re just a number,when you pass, they will replace you ASAP! It is a world now full of kiss butts and DEI to get promoted while the other guy gets looked over that deserves it!
