I have had a very stressful three weeks, which really shook me up and brought me almost to the brink of despair. I'm glad it's over.
Many things we do every day are stressful to some degree; most of them are not serious, and we can readily adjust to them. But sometimes they still get the best of us. It is a fact of life, particularly adult life. It makes us wonder how we can cope with too many changes at one time, or adapt to radical changes we are not ready for. Anything that requires a major adjustment in our way of life can turn stress into distress.
As we cannot avoid some degree of stress, it pays to know how to cope with it effectively. We can seldom deal with stress successfully if we don't recognize its source. Once we identify the stressor accurately, whether it is physical or emotional, we have the chance of bringing our response under control. Finding the level of stress at which we are most comfortable helps us discover the positive values that some kinds of stress may give us.

Yes, I heard about your problems. Just take things in equal stride (to borrow your phrase).
I reread the entry. You are 100% right, almost everyday stressful talaga ang work ko rito. Hindi lang pala work, pati mga kasamahan ko rito naapektuhan ako.

Many thanks for the advice. It is very much appreciated.

It's easy to say "love your work and don't mind the people around you," but you can't. I empathize with you. We're on the same boat.
Exactly, talagang mahirap silang pakisamahan. Suko na ako. Ibalik 'nyo na ako sa Pinas!!!
It's a very stressful day! Gusto ko nang pagtatadyakan ang mga impertenente!
Sorry to hear that you had a bout of stress lately! Keep cool and relax!
Nakarecover ka na ba?
