AS2 - what do you do to relieve stress? Do you have any current healthy avenues to help yourself?

Those are all the “right” stress relievers except they don’t seem to be working for you. Is it just during busy season you get this stressed? Have you tried talking to someone or even going to the bathroom for 5-10 mins or somewhere and breathing and/or listening to music? Anything to just settle your mind? As I wrote on a post somewhere else, this profession can be amazing, but not at the cost of your health. I am worried about you OP. Would like for you to find something that works for you to not have chest pains!

I find PA to be extremely stressful but the chest pain is a first. I’ve wondered if it’s maybe just my office and I’d be happier elsewhere. I just don’t think the profession is right for me, though I’m sure you’re right that it can be great!

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

I knowingly got married to a person with some psychological problem. my initial assumption was that she’d get better after leaving her parent’s toxic home. However she turned worst. She’d frequently/randomly become abusive and violent. She refused seeing doc.
I’m thinking of divorcing her, but I also know that if I leave her she’d end up in worse situation(her mother is terminally ill and father is also old with no other relative). Ps. I am Indian so no live in before marriage.What I can do?

Have been offered a role in the investment team of a UMM PE client that came off the back of a project rather than me actively looking for a role - I’m not sure that I want to work in PE, but it feels like this is the kind of opportunity that shouldn’t be passed on. Is it a good enough reason to take a job just because ‘what the hell why not’? Curious about what the perception/risks are of leaving a fund after a shorter period (1-2y). Is there anyway that this backfires massively?

But he apologized and asked for forgiveness about a year ago so I think he turned out to be a better man. Not sure why I’m posting here but I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it. It’s a weird situation.
