I was googling the same question but I just couldn’t find the right answer.  

The answer I was looking for, I used to find in long conversations with my boyfriend or a close friend. 

Here, I want to bring you some of the thoughts from those conversations. I will illustrate to you the exact things which may happen to you in case you stay with a toxic boss for so long (and tell you how long is too long). 

A toxic boss may cause harm to your health – THAT IS A FACT.

It is an individual issue though, but if you are feeling stressed out and frustrated by your everyday job, you are at risk. You may be feeling some of the symptoms right now but you may not be aware of it.

But, how much harm your toxic boss causes you anyway? Is your workplace dangerous?

Do you say any of these things more often than you should?

Sorry I fell asleep 10 minutes after starting a movie (even after gobbling a double espresso)

What can you eat to settle your stomach?

I just can’t eat in the morning, I feel like vomiting.

What can I take for a severe headache?

Sorry guys, I can’t make it tonight, I need to rest.

My hands are often shaking, is this normal?

Well, I’ll break it to you.

It is a typical “toxic boss syndrome”.

Actually, there’s no need for a check-up. If you are still reading, this is an obvious sign you may be in danger of losing your health.

If you work in an office where 3 days cannot pass without drama, you might want to read the rest of the article.

Sure, you have all read the stories about how much stress may be dangerous, but in real life, we meet people who are miserable at their jobs and they still survive.

How come?

CALCULATE AND MEASURE 

To calculate the seriousness of the situation you must observe the images below carefully.

I told you at the very begging, this is not a post about scientific research because you do not need one for this kind of topic. You need a friend talk who is going to say to you the same thing you have read on the images above. If you have spent 3 years or more with a boss who is toxic, you need to do something about it.

That is all. If you are being under pressure less than 3 years, you too should definitely do something about it but your health is not in much danger just yet.

But, in case you are here only for the list what might happen to you, here it is:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Dermatitis
• Anxiety
• Panic Attacks

And the symptoms are: 

• Morning sickness
• Headache
• Vomiting, upset stomach
• Low/high appetite
• Sleep problems
• Chronical tiredness
• Lower back pain
• Stomach pain
• Neck and shoulder pain
