My stress is my own

My boss wants me to start talking to a counsellor, since the main reason behind my stress is my job... but what is there to say? I am stressed and just need to get the tension out of my body. The headaches, the pains in my back and the constant tiredness will not really go away just by talking. Why not give me a massage???

I have tried it all before, and I do agree that it can be nice to get things off your chest, but it does NOT make you less stressed! Some get surprised that I am stressed, because apparently people find me quite calm. I guess that my stress is internal. I have tried and tried to find a way... to find somewhere to channelise all the stress that is constrained within my outer image.

Some people smoke or drink, maybe they do meditation or therapy, change their jobs or go on a holiday. I have gone back to the thing that has helped me in the passed. Loud, hard music...

So I say to you in more than one way:


Mein Herz Brennt!
