My last job was stressful and I think it was good for me too, so I know what you mean. The busier we are, the less time we have to be depressed and/or angry 24/7. I have actually learned to enjoy my free time, by doing creative things I enjoy by myself. I find that I do them more now that I have BP, sometimes cause I enjoy it and other times to help me cope, so its a win-win.
