How do you deal with juggling loads of mad life stress?
Circumstances are thus:
- I have quite a stressful job involving supporting people in complex / emotional situations.
- I have two young and very cool kids. Albeit they’re exhausting, up early, arguing, classic kid stuff.
- I have an awesome and super cool wife. But I often feel guilty she’s taking the brunt of parenting because I’m often working over etc.
- I’m the main person for a few people outside of my immediate family. My brother is an unemployed alcoholic who I’m trying to support and keep calm, along with a close friend who I’m his main guy during a divorce.
- I have dodgy back and need to go to the gym often but struggle to fit it in with parent obligations.
I feel like I’m about to pop with stress!
How do you deal with this kind of stuff? Take it in your stride? Back off from things?
