I am realizing that low stress for me is high stress for someone else. I LOVE working in the neonatal ICU. I get great personal satisfaction from it, even with the bad times mixed in. I have tried less active, demanding jobs and I was SO BORED that I got actual depression!

Hi Amazonmom!
You are right: it seems we have to do what every person in this planet should: we should take good care of ourselves. Although it seems like a death sentence sometimes 'cause if we don't do it, we get really bad.
Hey, if high stress places/jobs help you feel ok, then go for it! I suppose there is no written rule about what are the universal stressors for all ppl. So keep taking care of those little newly born babies
