Hello;
First the good news.
I am now a Certified Fitness Trainer. Since my last post, I completed my studies and took the test. I am really happy about it. Now the hard part comes of finding my ideal job in the industry. That's a bit stressful because I have already paid the city and county about $125 just to get licensed as well. I've been applying for jobs at gyms and I am trying other areas of the field. I also want to get one-on-one clients. It's always been a dream of mine to do something in fitness. Now I made it happen.
I have also been feeling really good, for the most part. I have not needed much of my Valium either the last few months.
But I may need it this week because this week is when I have to shoulder a lot of work at my job. I work for a travel company and we handle requests that come in, and come in, and come in via email. It basically never stops all week. Some requests are easy and take a few minutes; some take over an hour.
Some days are harder than other days. There's sometimes 50 things in the email when I first start work.
I'm usually very slow at it and fall behind. It's a lot of computer work and I sometimes get flustered. My wife has been doing her best to help keep me calm, but I am sometimes my own worst enemy. It builds up in my mind and then I get anxiety over it, and yesterday it led to a small anxiety attack while we were shopping.
The last time I did this job it was in the middle of January and I did OK then, but needed some backup. I got it. But now our department has become really busy and I am not sure who my backup is this week.
Anyway, I am glad I came here today to vent my frustration with my job. Hopefully it won't be my job for much longer and I find something I like.
I would welcome any suggestions that might help me cope with this. I know I will make it and do well, but I still get overexcited about it.
Thanks,
David
