Reading the posts from everyone above makes me realise how lucky I am to be in a well paid job that I find rewarding even though I commute and work very long hours ,however It hasnt always been like that and have had periods during life where I have suffered very seriousley from stress. I think the important lessons I have learned are the following:

1: Always try and analyse where the stress is coming from and to be totally honest with yourself all to often in the past I realised to late that I was actually putting myself under stress.
2: Consider your priorities and workload some years ago I was taught a trick ie to split jobs into three types and prioritise them accordingly
(1) jobs that Urgent and important
(2) Jobs that Urgent and not important
(3) Jobs that are important but not urgent
I like many others did the three types of job in the order above however my working life changed when I started to do (3) before (2) this stops important jobs becoming urgent and therefore stressful...

The other thing is,,,,Look for a different job I am not sure what work you do, But there are lots of opportunities for everyone out there,
