i had a thought about stress and work etc.
my mum is self employed, she works constantly, and it seems as though what she gets out of her business doesnt match or succeed the time she puts into it. if theres ever a problem with the computer, or she hasn't been as productive as shed like, her bad mood is very much known, its like walking on egg shells alot of the time. working space is shared with other members of the household, which cannot be helped, and this general intrusion on her territory doesnt help. now that im at college i seem to have adopted the same work ethos, i work 2half hours more at college than needed, and i work from home in my spare time. im tired and constantly thinking of things that i need to do. i sleep between 8-9 hours a night but i never feel rested. i was just comparing this situation with my boyfreinds parents who both have different jobs out of the home, any problems they have at work stays at work, and from that i get the impression that thier home is alot more relaxed and layed back. its really refreshing being there because i know that i cant do work there, and so i relax a little. i might have learned to have the same attitude as her because theres no way of avoiding her working, and she has difficulty separating free time and work, but at the same time i dont think that she is the absolute cause.
is anyone else in a similar situation? im quite sick of feeling like this, its getting to the point that im not enjoying my college work anymore
