I work in a newsroom as a developer. It is often a perfectly stressful situation made worse by an open office and my own personal inability to "turn off" as you mentioned.
I love my job and consider myself pretty good at it, but feel a constant stress and anxiety that I MUST channel. There are times when I simply am unable to do that and shut down mentally for a couple of hours and would love to know more about what you've done or attempted to address this issue for yourself.
I worry that while this makes me very effective at my job, I'm damaging my long term health and sanity.
