She left - My Story, First Post

I need suggestions on how to deal with stress. I started yoga at nights and exercising which works a little bit, but want some other options. Maybe something to do in my office when I get overwhelmed.

The problem is my job is still really stressful and with what is going on with the S, it just adds to it.

In previous times I would talk about my work and my stress with the W.

Over the last half year I internalized my stress, become basically depressed and unemotional, which was a big cause in our separation. Now my stress coping skills are gone.

The only vocal outlet that I have is my parents because they understand what is going on with my M and the W and I. It helps but it is just not the same as when I could talk with my loving W about it. They are getting older and are happy to emotionally support me, but they are worried about the W and I and our kids. And I worry about the stress on them.

It is hard to blow off steam when I had possibly cost a client $5 million dollars and had an empty house to return too. That was 6 weeks ago, but my stress still boils over every now and then.
