Hey Mom, I just read this article about stress in the work place!
So this article I read was talking about how a lot of people over in Europe are saying they’re really stressed out! It got me really thinking because a lot of them said the workload was the main cause and I want to work in the legal field you know. It’s gonna be real stressful taking care of Jay’Cion all by myself with a large workload! How did you not get so stressed out working a full time job taking care of three kids? You’re really something else for real!
But anyway this article said that stress is both physical and emotional symptoms and it can lead to panic attacks, anxiety, and even depression! That’s really scary for me because you know that the family has a history of anxiety!
It also talked about different ways that a company can help people avoid stress; and that really caught my attention because in the legal profession I would have a large workload and if my employers aren’t doing anything to help me then that would be a problem! I’m serious ‘cause if I have a large workload with a deadline coming fast and they just keep giving me more and more work I just might freak out.
Omg, Mom managing stress is hard enough and being a paralegal will just make it harder! I have to make all these different legal documents for my lawyer and if I mess up its gonna make him look bad and then he will be mad at me and that’s even more stress on top of the other stress of making sure everything is perfect! I really don’t know what to think any more.

But I want you to keep an eye out for a lot of the things that they say might be visible okay? They say that feelings of not being able to cope, mood swings, disturbed eating patterns, finding it hard to concentrate, and feeling less motivated are all sings. So watch out for them and let me
