Charge more, find a price that cuts down the work load a litlte or if the load stays the same you'll at least make a decent bit of cash which may turn you around when you see that you're able to toss a heck of a lot in the bank or something.

Then again, I'm someone that would work 20 hours a day for the money if I could.

Well I saw them everywhere http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/tongue1.gif so I'm not sure

I barely suffer from headaches like this usually ... Only a couple of times a year at most, so I doubt it's serious http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/wink1.gif and they always happen at moments of extreme excitement or stress (no not during sex http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/tongue1.gif) and during most of the times drinking lots of water helps, just this time it didn't

I'm not the kind of person who goes to the doctor for "little things" so to speak, so I won't for this one either.

Cheers to Dutchforce for the test, it resulted in "possible migraine" so it probably isn't. One of the syptoms was that the headache was "pounding" while mine never are

Am I overstressed?
 

I'll cut a long story short: I fix computers. People can call me any time any day and they do exactly that, small companies and families basically. Work is piling up every day and is getting worse by the second.

Working hours differ alot, but on a normal day I work some hours in the afternoon and some in the evening (also in the weekends)

Yesterday for no particular reason I got a huge headache and got very sick, so I did something I never did before: Cancelled my appointments and turned off my telephone.

30 minutes later I felt better than ever. While before I could barely get out of bed, I felt happy turned on some music and had some kebap just because I was feeling like it. Went out with housem8s later that day, had a good time and woke up today.

Of course my entire day is filled with appointments because I skipped some yesterday, but I didn't even really think about it. Yet when I sat down on my couch I got sick again, buried my head in the toilet and went to work afterwards. So for some reason it seems to be in my head, while I feel fine and not stressed at all.

Some weird ****, hope you can explain http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/wink1.gif not exactly sure who to talk to besides friends

Not sure WHY this is in console gaming, but I recommend buying a Wii http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/laugh1.gif

[rofl] wops I'll post it in GD, delete this thread http://discussworldissues.com/forums...s/biggrin1.gif

I recommend to get drunk. http://koti.mbnet.fi/room237/Faces/new_all_coholic.gif

Moved to General Discussion.

Sounds like you need a proper holiday to me m8 :S Exactly the same sort of thing happens to me when I get really stressed, my stomach just kinda rebels even though I know it shouldn't be. S'weird :S

Yea its sad to see Holland lost all doctors http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ilies/sad1.gif

I'd have to agree. However, I've kinda left it too long personally - because I got really stressed out last Wednesday and I felt I needed to end my shift early because I felt really ill in the stressed state. Obviously for a big company like where I work, the managers and supervisors weren't exactly happy as they never tend to be for large corporations and only care about getting the shift done, but I never really get much of a chance to properly go out and get hammered. When I do though, I get seriously pissed as I never get much of an opportunity.

To make things a little worse, i've never been abroad out of this country for two years now. I feel I need a cheap week away in Spain somewhere, but i've got no-one who would go and can't even afford it. http://discussworldissues.com/forums...es/unsure1.gif

Since you are always available, week days, evenings and weekends, you may want to organize your working hours a bit more. ( cut down working on strange times)

That way you create time for yourself, to get your required rest and some rythm in your life.

sounds like a reasonable idea, say you are only avaliable normal working hours like 8-6 or somthing similar

migraine attack?

Cheers Dutchforce [thumbup] I'll do that! (and thanks to the rest ofcourse for replying)

Might wanna check for migraine aswell, I'll look it up http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/smile1.gif but I think getting the rythm back just might do it

Get a separate work number. Have that number available only Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm to take phone calls to make appointments and what not. Then after 5pm, turn the ringer off. Make them leave a message and wait till tomorrow for them to get to make an appointment with you.

If its an emergency phone call on Thursday or Friday, then you do that work on weekends if you so choose. But really, I don't think that there really ever is an "Emergency" phone call with computers. As long as it doesn't involve a possible loss of someones life, then it isn't an emergency.


Your a business just like any other. Make yours hours, and then not answer the phone after so and so time and stop working at so and so time just like every other business. You can still work till 9pm at night if you have appointments, but just make sure that phone is off at 5.

No problem LOL http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/laugh1.gif

BTW ex migraine patient here ,
before you get that headache do you see stars(vlekken) in the corner of you're eyes ?

if so you def suffer from migraine http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ilies/sad1.gif

Migraine, tension-headache lays close together or it can be a mix of several headachs. ( there's four of them).

A good site to read and do a quick self test, but as SnW meant earlier in this thread, for serious physical/mentally problems, visit the doctor.

Here's the headache site I was talking about:
http://www.hoofdpijntest.nl/

I suffer from tensionheadache, with some migraine effects, and I do get prescribed drugs for them. Sometimes I feel it a day or two before it really breaches through, other days I wake up with a terrible pain..etc.. etc..
