Superstress

"Many women come to the realization that there are limits to their capabilities," notes Dr. Loebel. Probably, we can conduct well enough two main roles, for example the role of the mother and some other, but we should not forget that other times may not be enough. "
If women are torn between work, home and children, they may not be able to devote enough time to household chores, husbands and, very often, to themselves. Shaevich, advising working women, says that in her patients she observes many symptoms of physical and psychological stress, from irritability to ulcers, loss of interest in sex to insomnia. "Most often complain of insomnia. Sleep disorders among American women are so frequent that they can be compared to an epidemic, "she says.
Indeed, a study conducted by Marcia Killien and Marie Annette Brown, Ph.D. from the University of Washington, showed that many women consciously go to sleep limitation in order to have time to do more or, more importantly, to be a little more alone. Studies have shown that many working women consider the lack of personal time to be the main source of stress. "If you do not have the time for yourself," warns Janet Loeb, "you'll never get new forces."
(The study also indicated that the most irritable in everyday life are married working mothers.) It is easiest to see the causes of irritability that lie on the surface: physical ailments, emotional stress, behavior of children, transport problems, the most deeply hidden problems associated with with work.)
Women, in fact, work on two full-time jobs. The women's movement intended to offer us a choice, but the very word "choice" implies either or. However, today it is not about choosing a professional activity or motherhood, accounting or house cleaning. It is assumed that women will do all this, and they begin to ask why.
