I'm not doing very well at work

It's good that you're here. We all have difficult times in life. If your situation at work is affected, there’s not one but two obstacles to talking about your troubles. These conversation tips will help.

The term «Burnout» is doing the rounds, and rightly so. We have to talk about mental problems in the workplace – and the sooner, the better for all concerned. You may be affected by burn-out if you are dedicated to your work to an above-average extent, and you expect a great deal of yourself. If you have noticed any of the following things about yourself for weeks or even months:

  • you're nervous, irritable and touchy, often getting into arguments
  • you can no longer "switch off" in your spare time and you have trouble sleeping
  • everything is piling up and getting on top of you
  • you are less focused and more forgetful
  • you are consuming more stimulants or more substances to calm you down than you used to

Then it is time to take action.
