Trying to write a russian blog entry I realized that I wanted to say
"sigh". As in: "I'm really stressed out at work. Sigh."
Is there a good way to say this in russian? I'm not even absolutely sure whether it's a noun or a verb when you say something like that in english, since it's not really correct english and more like online-speak...
I used *вздох*. What do you think?

Good enough.

I personally use *вздыхает*, and my Russian friends are ok with that.

Usually, with the exception of *sigh*, we use third person singular. *peeks through the window* *punches self* *runs into wall* and so on, that's why I use вздыхает.

Both are ok grammatically and will be undestood, although I've never seen any Russian speaker using them.

Well, I do sometimes but feel strangely about it. :)
I prefer to write *sigh* in English

[gera.livejournal.com]

That'll do.
I've seen a lot of Russian speakers do that. :)

"Эх..." is more suitable both for real and online speaking.

We, Russians, usually use this word.

Thanks! (Эх has the advantage of seeming a bit easier to write and more fun to say than вздох.)

also "ох..." and "ых..." :)

I use "фух..." and "уф..." :)

"Я реально запарился на этой работе. Эх..."
"Ох..."
"Уф..."

"(вздох)" is okay.

"Эх..." is good too.

You can also use "Пристрелите меня кто-нибудь".
