What should you do if you have a severe family problem that bothers you and messes up all your thoughts and affects your decisions?

Thanks for invitation,

I do prefer to request a work's vacation, in order to handle this sever family problem properly , with full concentration and without any side effect to my work's performance.

Thanks ;

The system I always remember is the separation of all things; problems related to work remain in the workplace and do not exceed it; family problems remain in their surroundings; this system should not be confused.

Learn to separate the two, in as much as family problems are a very touchy subject, one should learn to not take to work personal issues and vice-versa, and also try to solve the family problem as fast as you can l,so that you don't have distractions

Thank you for inviting me to answer this and it is interesting.

Family problems are never easy but they have a solution and they are never to be carried to your work place.  To be a professional one has to think on the positive side and move ahead and achieve your goals despite of the problems one faces. 

Seek the help of a close friend who can guide you with calming down and the family GP who can help with therapy for calmness of the mind. 

Do not think of the negative side of the problem and do not brood over the problem, seek help for solving the problem examples psychologist and explain the scenario to him, listen to his advice and follow it with an open mind and achieve the results.

Converse with a friend you trust and learn how they can help you move on professionally without messing up in the work place.  Calm the mind with meditation mantras which does help calm the person fully.

Go for a walk and sit opposite an open field with many trees around review the problem and ask yourself how this all came about because in the end it is about control and the person alone can control the mind by being practical and postive in attitude with no negativity hence this will bring about a positive solution.  It all depends on the person to control their thoughts and actions and mind frames. 

Nothing is impossible when there is a will, there is a way.....all things are possible,,,,when one is able to face the truth and move on.

depending on the degree of confidentiality, communicate. in prayer, a conversation with a child, your spouse, a stranger, your elementary teacher, a cup of tea with your janitor can sometimes, if not all the time, bring light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome to a satisfactory holiday or you can hire a professional industrial psychologist to help you solve your problem as an outside doctor

Thanks
