Well.
We've seen 2 opposing posts from 2 officials I genuinely love to read & follow on this forum. One says your life is f*cking up baseball, take some time off & regroup. One says baseball is f*cking up your life, seek out your inner Stalin and you'll be fine. As in most things the answer is somewhere in the middle, but as someone who choses his battles carefully (maybe not always well) and prefers to take a good kick in the teeth before walking (or running) away from something important I couldn't help but identifying strongly with the School of Stalinistic Thought. So my advice is to work hard on figuring out exactly how much crap you'll tolerate in your game. Take exactly no more than that. Become feared and you will become respected, not because people will leave you alone but because you won't be bothered by the jerks & can concentrate on improving your game. And then you'll be able to keep it simple.
Good luck.
