How do you deal with stress from work?

I got a new job and it’s ok but it’s high volume and I’ve noticed I keep having work dreams on my days off. I’m hoping that I will eventually get used to the job and the dreams will go away. In the meantime though I’m tense and upset about it. I’m crying. How do you relax about working??

Quite normal to feel like this in a new job.
Especially with all the added pressure of needing an income.
Especially at the moment.

It takes time to learn procedures and get into a flow.
Figuring out who's who and everybody else's expectations of you in your role.
And there's stress everywhere !

But that's not your fault. And they'll know that.

@Picklebobble2 Agreed. You are going to be pre-occupied for a while until the job becomes more second nature. I would suggest the same as others; exercise if only walking, just getting away for a while until things settle down.

@JimboSaturn Control the things you have a handle on to give yourself the best chance of being at your best for the things you haven't
