Demanding jobs and BDSM

[Ozme52]

Another, somewhat related thing is, how to quickly tame the bad attitude I come home with on a regular basis. It usually takes me an hour and a glass of wine to decompress....

I recommend a non-alchohol based stress reliever. It puts you to sleep, making the stressors in your life your only excitement. LOL

I would suggest a good beating, giving or getting. (All the more reason to find a willing and compatible partner.) Something that takes your mind off of the stressors, gives you something nice upon which to focus, and gets your "blood up" (i.e., stimulates.)

For years, for me, it was my motorcycle. Thinking about work was a death sentence. Thinking about driving eliminated the stress by the time I got home. Getting or giving a good beating is similar. Got to concentrate on your partner.

If you can't find someone to assist, go online and get some tasks to put your mind to.

You're right I need to find a new stress reliever. Sadly, beating is not an option at the moment...but I can and should take to running more often. I think just the stress of work and the economy has left me working longer, more frazzled hours.

Thanks for the advice :-)

Eh, I dunno if this applies to anyone else, but when I'm dead tired, a beating is practically the last thing I'd enjoy - I'd much prefer the cozy comfort of my sheets, and a lot of comfort food. In fact, anything that involves exertion or pain is the last thing on my list... which rather narrows the scope of BDSM.

Then again, I suppose that if I'm that tired everyday, I really should do something about my job and stuff instead. Le sigh.

Perhaps the last thing you think you'd enjoy... but have you tried?

It's sort of like exercising. You hate to do it until you do. Then you suddenly begin to miss it.

My suggestion is really about making the effort to push yourself when you're tired... and maybe find out that doing so is energizing.

Especially the "stuff".
