To struggle to switch off from work.

I have a good job (that I am trained for and like mostly), but it's a bit shitty at the moment. Two colleagues have had a bad fall out, and so are on non speaks. I manage one of them, the other has a different manager.

It is a bit like I imagine living with divorcing parents would be.

The thing is, I am finding it massively stressful, and it is affecting my home life. I don't really want to go in at the moment.

I never really learnt the art of leaving work problems at work - what tricks do others use?

First of all, you need to deal with the issue at work. Have a meeting with the other manager as to how you are going to address the childish behaviour of those two workers. What their issue is with each other needs to be dealt with because the way they are conducting themselves is unacceptable and it affects everyone in the workplace. Taking control of this situation will help alleviate some of your stress, because right now, all you're doing is suffocating on the awkwardness and tension and then you drag all those bad feelings home with you.

On the way home from work, if you drive, play some de-stress self help recordings, listen to audio books, or relaxing music. Whatever. You have to work at finding what helps you let go of all the day's bullshit.
