Feeling angry outside of work
So I visited my parents over the weekend last week, and I thought it’d be so nice to see them and slow down. But my brain still runs at 100 miles per hour after work, and I just felt frustrated and annoyed, and felt really bad afterwards for acting that way. Wanted plans but they were slow to respond, so got angry instead of just enjoying with them. And I realize I feel this way pretty often now. Gym is an outlet but it sucks, I don’t want this job to change my personality
That’s a choice you have to make. Maybe some activities just aren’t as relevant to your current situation. Maybe that includes going to see your parents on weekends. Who knows. Maybe there’s something in the back of your mind telling you “you should be working right now”. So, ask yourself, can you leave the life you had/may want behind for a few years while you build a career and then pick up where you left off? Might suck working a ton in your 20s but I don’t know many people that regret the money they made
First thing to do is call them up right now and apologize and explain
Oh, I totally get where you're coming from. It's like you're running on a high-speed treadmill and suddenly you're asked to walk. It can be jarring and frustrating. But remember, it's okay to slow down. Here are a few things you might want to consider:
Mindfulness: This is a great way to slow down your mind. It's all about being present in the moment and not worrying about the past or the future. There are plenty of apps and resources online to help you get started.
Communication: Talk to your parents about how you're feeling. They might not understand the pressures of your job, so it's important to let them know why you might be acting a certain way.
Hobbies: Find something you love doing outside of work. This can help you switch off from work mode and relax.
Professional Help: If you feel your anger is getting out of control, it might be worth speaking to a professional. They can provide you with tools and techniques to manage your anger.
Remember, it's okay to feel angry. It's a normal emotion. But it's important to manage it in a healthy way. And don't worry, you're not alone in this. Many people in high-pressure jobs feel the same way.
