Don't talk about it in detail all the time- you'll get worked up about it all over again. I think that most creative people have the same problem- they care too much. It's a hard habit to break. But if you continue to do so, you will not only get yourself down, but you will become jaded or indifferent. Stop caring about what people think so much and be a bit more selfish. If Joe Blow doesn't do something right, send it back to him and tell him to fix it- don't indulge in a lot of banter on why it needs to be fixed, just tell him to do it. If he doesn't, go to his boss and let them deal with him/it. Don't be afraid to call someone out for not doing their job (it sounds shitty I know, but it's a necessary evil). Use your resources and when you are in over your head, or feel like you are floundering, pipe up. And keep piping up until you get what you need to get the job done correctly, professionally, and with your sanity intact. Hope that helps... You have to stop bringing it home with you.

Chin up - view it as an asset, not a defect. You have a big, caring heart...and last time I checked, that wasn't a horrible thing. No advice, I’m afraid; just a note to say “welcome to the club”.
