True but I crumbled until I had/was forced to quit. Not a nice experience but sometimes I think you have to know your limits.

The sad fact is most of us can't manipulate our workplace conditions or hours to a great degree without antagonising others or giving the impression we are trying to get out of work. I'm a firm believer in self-help and positive action, but there are limits to what people can do in their particular situation.
RR and Punkypossum - (fellow sufferers) isn't it the wierdest feeling when your brain starts to say 'no more!'

Yes, it is, you could add me to the list of fellow sufferers. 
Thankfully I'm not prone to stress, but one job I had was really horrible to the point I was getting very down and had to be forced out of bed in the morning. It wasn't a hard job, but I'm a sensitive soul and the monotony of answering phone calls to aggressive people every day took its toll.
I changed jobs and apparently there was an instant change in me (and I felt a LOT happier). This job doesn't involve talking to customers but is a much more stressful & high performance working culture. Time management and not taking work home with you I find very helpful, plus exercise is a great for stress relief. I very rarely find myself too stressed and find writing lists, and doing the quicker/smaller jobs first helps as seeing the list go down gives you a nice boost!
