MantaLady - I'm glad you found some balance and are happier now, even if it required switching jobs. I was commuting 1.5 hours each way on top of the work, and I have a lot of high touch clients who are never happy. I'm oddly really good at dealing with difficult people, but it's very draining, so I am thinking I may have to consider switching roles and taking a pay cut as well. I did cut out the commute really recently, so I'll see how much impact that makes first.
Thanks for giving me some inspiration!
