It's so frustrating...

to see how you are unable to perform. to grow. to raise from the crowd and defend yourself. it's so frustrating... to see how others have more guts than you do... when in fact they don't. just that... they have less to lose than you. and it's so frustrating. to have no hope. that something is going to change. that you are going to evolve. it's so frustrating... to share the same dreams like others without having the same resources.

it's frustrating to deal with people which you had expectations from. it's frustrating to see that they lied. and that their lies keep them warm, leaving you aside. in a black hole.

it's frustrating. not being able to protect the ones you love. and it's frustrating... not being able to offer a gift to your boyfriend for his birthday. having to run into the morning to arrive in time at work instead of kissing him good morning and wishing him happy birthday.

it's so frustrating not to be able to find the place you want in life. to see how others go before you just because they know the uncle of the boss of the director of head of the department. and it's so frustrating to see the high expectations that your employer has... by offering nothing.

it's so frustrating... to be living with so many frustrations.

The Burnout Syndrome

I have read today an article entitled "How do you know if you suffer of the Burnout Syndrome". I usually don't have the time to read all the newsletters that I receive, but this one raised a question in my head... wtf are they talking about? So, with the courtesy of hipo.ro I found out that it represents a modern professional disease, that affects us all in a certain measure. Of course, as all the diseases, it affects our personal life also. The article is in Romanian, but as I started searching on the Internet I found other materials also.

We all have moments when we feel knocked out, demotivated or bored. Unable to wake up in the morning. The thing is... how often does this happen to you? Does it happen' once a month? Once a week, or every day? Burnout Syndrome - professional tiredness - chronicle fatigue - consists of both phisical and emotional tiredness caused due to continue exposure to stress factors. It shouldn't be confused with stress, which can sometimes become motivational and creative due to the fact that when we are stressed we search solutions to solve things in a better manner.

The main cause of the Burnout Syndrome is the professional workout, combined with the underapreciation of the ones that surround you. Between the causes have been identified: the lack of control over your own activities, unrealistic expectations from your employer, monotonous activities, unsatisfactory and with a high degree of receptivity; working in a chaotic environment or under pressure, without a clear line.

It also combines and appears from our habit of living: taking more responsibility than you are able to fulfill, lack of sleep, more time dedicated to solving problems than to eliminating the causes of the problems, the lack of emotional support, the need to be in control or the pessimistic vision over life.
