How can I get rid of drama fatigue as a GM?

I GM several games each with different systems through the week. However with GM'ing so many games comes a certain amount of drama. The type of drama I would have to deal with once two-three months under normal circumstances happens every two-three weeks as different groups cause drama unaware of eachother with players threatening to quit or just whining or bugging me.

I have been descelating these however after around three months I am running out of patience and I no longer feel like GM'ing on the grounds that each of the drama incidents take more out of me. To be honest I am really close to saying:"Okay. Rocks fall. Anyone involved in this conversation dies. It was not a pleasure playing with you." and moving on.

Now as to what I wish to ask. How can I relieve this pile up of feelings without doing something drastic?
