Anyone else cries at night before sleeping?
Anyone eat also no appetite?
Anyone cannot sleep well due to stress?

Or am I alone?



I was one of them when I worked in a Japanese MNC for 3+ years. Since day 1, I joined the co, I worked from 7am+ till around 11 pm in office. Reached home till continue to do till 1-2 am ( handled with USA office colleague). My lunch n dinner were always irregular n short. I didn even have time to go toilet. PH still needed to work as needed to follow up with china factory n monitor customers' forecast demands. Sat needed to handle china factory shipments. Lots of emails to clear n needed to burn my Sunday too. Till one day , I started to feel scare to go to work n often cried in the night. And my 气色of my face turned yellow n I had extreme weight lost. I applied for 1 month unpaid as Japanese boss refused to accept my resignation . Often in the night I had Insomnia ( even I resigned, it took me about 3 years to return to normal ) . I didn know how would I managed to work in that toxic environment for 3+ years. In the end I threw letter.

Work stress is real in Singapore especially in Japanese co n local Chinese company. I worked with Japanese for more than a decade. Previously my hubby worked in 2 Japanese co also needed to till past midnight in company. From our past experience, we feel that Jap expatriates like to hold LONG meeting after office hours. In the morning their productivity is damn low. Always MIA for many smoking n kopi breaks, when about to dock off from work (5.30pm) then starts to be very productivity. Likes to use company funds for unnecessary entertainments n other expenses. I have friend who worked in Korea company before . They have the same work culture as Japanese.


If TS is feeling Insomnia n scare to go to work , it is time for U to switch job. Depression is scary and a company would never care for staff mental wellness. Take good care of urself first.

Not normal. What is the reason you felt stressed?

Surviving but really not living

I don’t know what happiness really is. The only happy time I remember is when during school I can play games.

Have you tried getting a girlfriend?

Crying is good. Moi can’t cry freely anymore because life has harden moi heart. Life is tough so please know that crying is also a form of exercise. Appetite not good but still need to eat. Eat something sweet eg chocolate, durian etc, it will make you happy 😊

He's already married with kid :s13: :s13: :s13:
you talked as if having girlfriend is the solution to all problems.

Oh well, he is keeping his life secret not telling the source of his stress, so I can only guess the most common reason.

Could it be health issue or financial difficulty? Without knowing the root cause, this thread will be useless.🤷
