How do you keep work stress from bleeding into your personal life and relationships? Whenever I successfully get over a challenge at work, I feel like it's only a matter of time until I get pulled right back into the mud.

I simply ✨don’t ✨. Unrelated note, I am now in therapy.

I find stress in this job comes from things happening that are out of your control and in turn taking it personally. Let go of what's not in your control and just focus on communicating what's happening, why it's happening. And the more senior you get the more you'll be able to make recommendations on what to do next.

I don't. I just let the stress gradually eat away at me, day in and day out, until I'm so mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted that I simply cease to care. It's great, would recommend.

Pilates! Or yoga, running, dance, whatever you're into. You've got to have a healthy stress relief outlet, or it'll kill you.

I think it’s over with my SO of 3 years. He tells me he loves me and wants to work things through but has lied to me several times in the past - some which were the same mistake three times. He knows he needs professional help (he’s also on antidepressants and has PTSD) but I don’t know how I can trust him again. Feeling completely broken - cannot believe the situation we’re in. I’m so sad my heart is breaking and I don’t know what to do

A majority of society tends to stick around to things because they are influenced by "enough" people doing something similar. Hence, they start living someone else's life instead of theirs.

Think about what you want for yourself, what's important, what you value. Then, ask yourself. Do I have these things? Am I living by the things that are important to me?
