I have never really dealt with much stress or had a problem with it.
My job is about to kill me anymore, i work in an oil / gas field in Wyoming.
Have done it for 5 years and have liked for the most part. Winters are very rough and stressful but i always get through it. This year my well count and mileage in the field have doubled. I have about 65 wells that i am responsible for production, maintenance, environmental etc. My route covers about 250 square miles or dirt roads. This winter is worse than others due to bad weather and the larger well count. This amount of work should be done by 2-3 guys not one. I find myself extremely stressed during the day needing to be at 50 different places at once. I am taking it home with me, and dreaming about it at night. I need this job as it pays better than anything else around and i have 2 young kids. Some people i work with have no stress at all, "it will be there tomorrow" kind of attitude. I need to somehow find that. I have tried and tried to have this attitude but just cant do it. I know i will never get fired or laid off for lack of performance. My production numbers are tops in the company. How can i get over this? I need a job, but not all day and all night. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Thanks for any suggestions! Moose13

Hi Moose13, have you tried yoga/pranayama (breathing exercises)?

It appears that you have a tendency towards perfectionism, that you have to complete everything on your plate. Take a closer look at all the feelings that arise if you leave your work incomplete for the day. This will give you clues to the part of you that gets very upset and has unrealistic expectations. Talk to it as if you would to a colleague. Try to do it on paper. Ideally it would be better done with a therapist.
Also, practicing some relaxation exercises after you get home, before sleep will allow you to at least get your sleep.
Wishing you all the best.

Hi Moose13, I have just read your article and I realise it is a few months since you were at your most stressful time. I do hope that things have improved for you. I have a different kind of stress, one that has been with me for 3 years. I left my husband of many years to be with the one I truly love. He has found it difficult to leave his wife and his grown up kids for fear of the reputation he will leave behind. He feels that everyone will be against him and that his kids will no longer respect him depsite him being such a great Dad. I really feel that I can not wait any longer, I am so lonely and I am not participating in anything outside of being with him during the working week. I realise that I should have called it a day a long time ago and despite saying this to him he has asked that I wait. Please give me your view on this situation and help me aleviate the stress.

There is no other way to alleviate your stress than taking charge of this situation. I doubt your love is never going to leave his wife and kids. Did your husband love you? It's far fortunate to be loved than loving some one. If your husband still loves you, ask for forgiveness and try to be together again. Else, try enjoying being single and spend your time as much as possible in activities you love doing, till you find someone who truly loves you, who is ready to dump the world for you at the drop of a hat.
