My Job Is Stressing Me Out Big Time

My job is really getting to me, I feel totally powerless to do anything. I try to speak to my colleagues and all they do is moan which gets me down even more.

I try to make changes to the job so that it works better but I just get told not to try and change things. No matter what I do I seemed to hit a brick wall.

Every night I come home so tired and fed up and the worst thing is to get it off my chest I rant on to my partner. Who can't possibly help and who just becomes stressed because of me and the way I am reacting.

I see my partners face really drop after the first few minutes of me talking to him and then I know he will be in a bad mood for the rest of the evening. So I try not to off load but then I feel so alone with no one to be able to off load on.

I know I have to do something as I am becoming ill more and more often and I really dread going to work every day. I am now thinking that I should find another job, I think it will be easier in the long run.

Any way it has been good to have my rant here, I bet there are lots of people who feel the same.
