I Believe Work Is For Work, Not For Home

This new job is really starting to get to me... I have a long commute and crazy hours and some weeks I only get one day off which I'm worried about getting ready for the next day of work. I'm missing out on times with my husband, and I'm missing out on my child.... and myself... I am starting to feel scared and constantly stress and depressed... the job itself doesn't bother me, but just all the time I'm missing sucks... I'm so miserable...

How long have you been on that job, now? Any improvement? Or deterioration?

Not really much improvement. I finally got a week where I had more than one day off. There's just nothing I can do about it so I stopped complaining. @daydeeo:

If you're constantly stressed, that's just not a good thing. I used to use my long commute to unwind - listen to music, messages or even pray and sing. I hope you're able to find some kind of balance.
