ffviking,
I started in 70 and you are completely correct. Stress relief was within your shift. But I believed and still do that conversations with your peers is very important. It would be hard to trust skydiving instructions from a person who has never been in an airplane.
Also support from home is extremely important. When the home support is counterproductive, it can lead disastrous results, as I have experienced through a family member. The job wasn’t the problem, but the counterproductive home support was. Unfortunately the work peers didn’t realize the intensity of the problems they were making fun of.
