Lions, how do you deal with stress and confusion?
This topic was created in the Leo forum by heliumfiasco on Wednesday, August 28, 2019 and has 8 replies.
My Leo has been extremely stressed at work. He feels that he is undervalued, over-worked and over-looked.
Recently they changed his title and when he explained the hurt he felt, my eyes teared up, because I could tell he was destroyed. He is a professor at RISD but he also manages their entire printing department (like 37 spaces all across the state). Since he has 3 job titles at RISD they took his "faculty" title away, because it isnt "his main priority". He has been an adjunct professor every semester since 2009. This is making him feel a certain way, and I get it. They even took his badge and had it reprinted. It legit seems like a spite thing.
He works like 70 hours a week, is basically holding the entire department up, and they continuously fuck with him. I personally think that he loves that they all turn to him for everything, but he is constantly doing other peoples jobs, then upset when he doesn't get acknowledged for it. Ive told him to stop. But, he is passionate about the program. I think he ultimately has thought that he could work himself to a position of Grad program director or Head of the Department, and he is starting to realize he has invested 10 years and its not going to happen. Academia seems to be highly political, especially at Ivy League status.
My question is how do Leo's respond to stress? This happened last week and he was upset, but he seemed fine Saturday.... Now for the past 3 days, he will send me a meme a day (im assuming to let me know he is alive) and hasnt tried to see me, and seems very withdrawn. Im trying to not take it personally, ive given him his space and just replied back very casually. This isnt like him and I'm wondering if I should reach out more, or just kind of let him deal with this on his own?

This is true.. All the ones I know tend to drown their troubles with drinking and drugs.click to expand
Love it 😈
Almost all of his Leo placements(stellium) are in the 8th house. Pluto is his chart ruler. His emotions are so intense but so hidden. Its quite a thing to navigate. I feel super close, yet super out-of-reach with him at all times. HALP! hahaha JK

We have similar placements.
Yes reach out.
Don't push or baby him but let him know you're there if he needs to talk. Send a lighthearted text now and again or anything that would make* him smile.
I tend to cut myself from my social circle if I'm feeling stressed.
The answer is, exactly what he's doing right now. Every Leo is different, but when stressed a Leo has a very difficult time focusing on anything (or anyone else). I once accidentally blew someone off for a week because I had a lot of last minute work to sort through. I personally resort to workaholism when I'm stressed about work. More often than not, whatever I was stressed about will sort itself out as long as I give it enough focus.
Treat him to an affordable gift (usually fashion/appearance related-Leos like to look nice). Tie, socks, belt/belt buckle, socks, button down shirt, razor etc

Hi
I've been living with my boyfriend for almost a year. He's an amazing man. He's very different than most men because he helps a lot. He cleans, washes his own clothes, acts like a gentleman. Plus he's very attractive.
Sounds like the perfect man right?
