One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you are working really hard and you're really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer.
We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.
Staying composed, focused, and effective under pressure are all about your mentality. People who successfully manage crises are able to channel their emotions into producing the behavior that they want.
One must keep working continuously; otherwise, one thinks of death.
Work is a great blotter up. It stops you thinking, which is useful. No, it stops you feeling.
If I'm put in a situation where I am not really sure what's going to happen, it can be overwhelming. I get a bit anxious.
When you're having a bad day at work, a lot of times it's your head. When you're having good days, a lot of times it's the absence of the mind.
I'm a workaholic. Before long I'm traveling on my nervous energy alone. This is incredibly exhausting.
It's soothing to realize that my mind's processes are inherently uncontrollable.
I found out that I couldn't have a nervous breakdown. I tried a couple of times, but it just didn't work out. My mind, my body wouldn't let me.
