Well beyond the cognitive adjustments, the most important thing might be to control your stress levels. Its wonderful to have better coping mechanisms but its even better to have preventive maintainence to keep yourself from being overwhelmed.
You can be the most reasonable person in the world but if your nervous system is overloaded its really hard to function well . . or pleasantly.
So starting with special supplements like DHA, watching blood sugar through diet, some relaxation training, and excercise is essential before even considering what specifically might be bothering you.
ETA: Also getting enough sleep is key.

Just asking because I really wanna know how that is done...
I really wish I could leave my work at work... But things come up that I have to handle on weekends, often and it sucks that it cuts into my social-personal life... But that is what I chose as my career and as far as what I do, the things that I work with do not understand the meaning of time... Especially my time...
I can set aside as much time as I would like for myself--all the time I want to, but I would not be doing my job if I let it falter...
Besides, when someone's child is sick, he or she is sick, that is a personal problem that cuts in your work schedule... How can one reconcile the two?
That is why knowing your limitations and having it straightened out while you are single works well before you are in a relationship...
