Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXX
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your condition is not so peculiar because so many young people suffer from the same fate. Let us not waste time blaming every other person and circumstances. Start positive.

Stress in job naturally disturbs daily work - life balance. There are lot of sub topics within this balance like family members, friends, physical activities, food, colleagues etc.

Your job is your bread earner. I hope you look at this job as a step in your career. I say so because, if it is your career path, you are supposed to be passionate to your job, love your job and enjoy working. When you enjoy working, normal job related stress may not affect you )extreme conditions do affect). If you do not consider this job as your career step, then you are doing this job just for salary and for the sake of doing it. Then there shall be no passion, and then, naturally, every stress "you feel". Even when you are at home, you feel the office stress. Therefore step one.. Consider your job as your passion and career, love your job and enjoy it. Otherwise, find a job which is your passion and career and learn to enjoy it.

Everyone requires to be recognized and needs growth in career. You are just one among so many professionals. Every one are stressed and they too have this work-life balance problem. How do everyone cope? That is the secret.

In due course, they understands that recognition and career growth is possible only with experience and knowledge (not with thinking and blaming the management). They start improving their knowledge, be passionate to their work and enjoy working. They don't go behind recognition and career growth, but due to their dedication and sincerity, recognition and career growth fetch them. So second step.. Do not go behind recognition and career growth, but concentrate on passion and dedication towards work, gaining more and more knowledge and experience and enjoy the job.

You should learn to keep your personal life away from job. Once you start considering your job as passion, you never shall be stressed at the job side and therefore, your family and personal life shall be enjoyable.

My personal suggestion to every career aspirant - Career is life, career is life style, career is self satisfaction, self esteem and career is fulfillment. Career is Never promotion, salary, incentives, ego etc. These holds true to you also. Change your thinking according to this, and I shall guarantee you growth.

Take time off for exercise, games, leisure time activities, outing with family etc. Spent at least dedicated two hour every day with your wife and children. Be at home with them.

If you are able to bring these changes in your life, surely, you shall feel the difference.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
God bless you.
