I work in an ICU as a critical care RN. This means I deal w/ critically ill people, that in many cases rely on machines/drug infusions to keep them alive. Take away the machines and the patient is dead in a matter of minutes. This in itself its kind of a high stress environment compared to most people w/ "regular" 9-5 office jobs. Furthermore, I work 12, sometimes 16 hr shifts and can miss meal breaks if there is a lot of shiite going on. I often eat crappy sugary food when stuff's really stressful. I guess its a compensation mechanism.
I love my work. Its' rewarding, extremely educational, and is providing me w/ great clinical experiences for the next step in my career path. Its also quite financially rewarding, at least for this point in my life.
I also work part time as an exotic entertainer doing stagettes. The pay is exceptional, and its a lot of fun to party w/ a bunch of women! I like to think I'm quite adept at stagettes, and I work hard to look the part and put on a good show. This means reducing caloric intake, cutting water/dehydrating prior to shows.
With these 2 jobs, I find I'm often sleep deprived, it feels as though my nervous is always in overdrive. This leads to sleep issues, where I have trouble staying asleep for more than 4 hours at a time.
Overall, not really a combo that is conducive to good health/heavy lifting. I have anabolic support, but I feel this is just a crutch I use to maintain my leanness despite all the stresses on my body.
Unfortunately working less isn't really an option as I really need the money. I'm sure many of you guys out there also have stressful, busy lives... what strategies do you have for combatting burn out and still maintaining a healthy lifestyle?
