sethwm··on Ask HN: How to not bring emotion from work back home?
I would recommend exploring Emotional Brain Training (EBT) [1]. Wired for Joy [2] and Spiral Up [3] are two related books on the subject. Find a therapist that works in this space to coach you through it.

sethwm··on Ask HN: Feedback on text-based food delivery concept?
