Hi everyone
I just wondered if anyone can recommend some crystals to help me out right now. I'm really struggling with things.
I started a new job about 5 weeks ago and I feel like i'm just sitting waiting for someone to have a go at me for something. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I do worry all the time about what people think of me, and I'm really worried about people thinking i'm not doing a good job. I get the feeling that some of the people there are not good to be on the wrong side of, and i've heard a lot of people moaning about others not pulling their wait.
My line manager has been away and i've been trying to keep myself occupied but i'm concerned that i haven't got enough to show her when she returns. I am also finding it generally hard to motivate myself...I seem to struggle with the idea of having to go to work more so than the average person. I think it is a long term problem, I used to not like going to school and would get so worked up about going that I would make myself ill. I still feel a bit like that about work. As a result, I've been through several jobs over the past years, thinking it was the job that didn't suit me, but I'm thinking that increasingly I just don't deal with having to be employed!
It's all just making me feel really low and anxious, and I wondered what crystals I could use or wear or keep around me to help me out a bit.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks all.

Hi Yarnie
I too feel the same as you. I have very recently realised that my main problem is my general anxiety, it effects every aspect of my life - I always feel on edge.
I tried returning to work a couple of years ago and gave up after 8 months due to anxiety and stress, but now I would like to tryagainand am determined to find ways ofreducing my levels of anxiety as at the moment I don't cope with very much at all.
There may be lots of different crystals that would be useful and I'm sure someone will have some suggestions. I have a set of chakra crystals andwas drawn to my quartz crystal and am keeping it under my pillow at the moment. I am also wearing a hematite (spelling?) pendant which always seems to help me feel better (I understand it promotes courage).
Also, I came across this site yesterday which you might find interesting:

I have to say the exercises do seem to be making a difference, especially the first one which it suggests you do 3 times a day. I'm going to stick with this for a few weeks and see what happens. I think I will also look into exercise and diet too. Good luck and hope this might be of some help.

Hi Yarnie
I've just been off work for anxiety/stress for a month and like you I tend to worry about what people think about me - I've been working in an office for over 15 years and have a lot of experience, and am usually quite confident but with the way things have gone in my job, my confidence has swayed. However we are the type of people that are hard workers - so be proud of yourself!
My mom loves her crystals and she recommended that I carry around with me (in my bra or pocket), Citrine, Smokey Quartz(for positivity)and I also carried Sodalite as that helped with my palpitations. I also carry around with me rose quartz and amethyst as rose quarts is a heart stone.
I hope all goes well for you and the crystals work - remember to cleanse them everyday.
Take care

hi, dont worry about not being a good work-devoted peron.
I am convinced it's because you haven't found the thing that makes you click: so yes it is the jobs that are to blame, and yes and no it is you who is not putting the energy: but that is normal and logical: how can one be inspired by a blend job?
I have done may different jobs, I usually last 3 months then quit because i cant stand it anymore (the politic, sometimes the people, the job); I have also done lots of different studies just for the enjoyment/discovery apsect.
I have found recently that I need to be independent, but still in touch with people, and do a useful, creative job that makes a positive difference in the world....in other words: being a therapist!
SO you have my entire support; dont worry you will click on some job someday: it wont be the one advertised for in an employment agency, more likely you will come across it.
Crystals: i would suggest dark ones like black tourmaline(keep you grounded and for security/safety) and carnelian (energy..), and aventurine.
i wouldnt personally use Rose Quarts since I had stressful experiences when wearing it, in relationships with other people: it made me somehow more vulnerable..
All my best!:):):)

Hi Yarnie
Like many others who've replied to you, I too suffer with anxiety. The last few days have been very stressful, so I've been putting some crystals and essences to the test! Black tourmaline and danburite have been fab. I also use sacred space spraysand could not have lived without my Alaskan Essences ones over the last few days. Do youdo a grounding exercise every morning? This can help you feel more 'in tune' with the world.
Perhaps you could also think about what really does motivate you and make you happy. Sometimes doing volunteer work orhaving a great hobby, for example, can give you what you need - if that makes sense.
That reminds me, are you going to do that crystal healing diploma course?
Take care of yourself,
Luna
RE: Really need something to help me right now...
I totally agree with that.
I also need to sleep with my Black Tourmaline, I dont know how and why, but it feels like the most comforting stone in my collection: grounding, warm, powerful. strangely enough, before I bought it I never liked black tourmalines..
Yes, as Luna says: think and identify one hobby that you like doing and concentrate on that; give more ittime, wether it is meditation, gardening, cooking or making cards.
I never liked the idea of gardening in my entire life; could not see what attracted people to bend down in the cold, move a bit of dirt and put pink flowers there and yellow flowers here..:Dbut recently,out ofnecessity and being fed up with thethreatening looks some old pensioners gave me in my street regarding my rotten garden, I bought somecompost and a few plants...
and, without realising it, Ispent each day about 10 minutes just looking at the plants and flowers I had planted and was designing in my mind a better landscape!
Just to give an example how sometimes, necessity makes us do something which seems boring and tiresome first and then we are hooked! like decorating or moving furniture around putting new lighting/candles...(or maybe it's just me!):D
Keep in touch.[sm=grouphug.gif]
RE: Really need something to help me right now...
Hi everyone, thanks for replying,
Sandra, I will have a look at that site, thanks. I'll give the exercises a go.
Luna, I am still thinking about the diploma I had been talking about, the new one down in Sittingbourne, but I've so far been unable to meet up with the lady to chat over it so I'm starting to wonder if now's just not meant to be the time for it. I've entered a competition to win a free correspondence one so if I am lucky enough to win that, that will at least allow me to learn more until the time is right to do the diploma.
Fadette, I think you are right about the job. Maybe this kind of work isn't right after all, I'd really like to just be in charge of myself and at the moment the thought of being a healer of some kind sounds great. But that's a long way off and I've got to find a way of coping until then.
Pemba, you mentioned carrying crystals in your bra - lots of people talk about doing this ... is it not uncomfortable?! I'd worry it would either fall out or it would move and i'd look lumpy!! 😀
I have just taken up swimming and I've been really enjoying it, but instead of it helping me get through the day, I'm just sitting at work wishing I was swimming instead! I just think my negative way of thinking is causing most of my problems at the moment so that's something i really need to work on.
I haven't tried doing any grounding exercises in the mornings. Maybe I should try ....
Thanks everyone 🙂

Hi Yarnie
In reply to your question about wearing in your bra. AT the moment due to pregnancy I have a bit of a cleavage so they sit comfortably in the middle. They have fallen out though, especially when I bend over which makes me laugh. Another alternative is to put them in a pouch and pin it to your jeans, trousers or skirt or alternatively in a pocket. Whatever works for you and comfort is the utmost importance.
All the best.
