Is working an office job psychological stress?

[Guest]

Psychological stress is the worst kind. I was wondering that when you feel fatigue at a desk job, is that psychological stress, or a different kind?

I imagine, for you, it's social anxiety.

Life is stressful.

Learn to deal with it.

I'm asking because I know that cortisol has something to do with hairloss.

If you think that modern living is stressfull how would you have coped if you'd been born 100 yrs ago? Office work is not stressfull, its hardly a life or death situation is it?

I'll tell you what part of work makes ME stressed. The times when I've been on a business trip, stayed up too late, drank too much, and slept through my alarm clock... inevitably waking up in my hotel bed at EXACTLY the same time that my meeting was scheduled to begin at the plant site.

In such situations, you've got about 5 minutes to clear your throat, find the phone number of your contact onsite, and come up with a decently professional explanation as to why you are still in your hotel room at exactly the same time the meeting is to begin, and why it will take you an additional hour to get over there.
