A common word that most of us used all the time. And most of the time it is related to work. Stress from workplace... Stress cause hypertension which also cause stroke at some point.
I was diagnose with hypertension, due to stress. Many people ask me how can you have stress when you have nothing to do at work and I wonder that myself and sometimes I dare not to tell people that I am stress as it make no sense...
8 weeks have gone by, I was paid without doing much work. 8 weeks I reach office as early at 730 and go home by 530 just to avoid traffic jam which also causing stress.
So I went Google today to find out my condition of stress... little made known to everyone I found the culprit that cause my stress level up.... that is BOREDOM!!!
Studies show "boredom is a condition can be more stressful than overworked" This is why prison is a kind of punishment. Imaging facing the same wall doing nothing for 8 hours a day and being confine in a room. It will tired your brain, you wont feel much during the first couple of days, seconds ticks, minutes turn to hours, hours turn to days, days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months and when that time come, the stress level is way above the ceiling, you start to feel empty, dumb perhaps and the brain doesn't have much activities for such a long time.
This is what I am facing, 8 bloody weeks doing nothing. Everyday I feel like driving myself to prison and after 530 I drive myself back home to celebrate freedom. I have no words to describe my current working environment. People are weird, environment well is even more weird.
I need to find a solution quick as I believe I will lost my grip soon and end up being a lunatic. There are people ask me to be patient and wait, I tried and that's enough. I don't want to waste my time doing nothing. Sometimes it really not about the money.....
Got this from a web article
Boredom is "one of the biggest contributors to work-related stress," said Douglas LaBier, a business psychologist who runs the Center for Adult Development in Washington. The less someone works at work, the more pressure they feel.
