> My Job has become high stress over the past few weeks. We have a reorganization going on. There is so much more than this though.

> I am a contractor for a website for a large company. I am supposed to be a member of a team. The other team members (permanent workers) keep tons of information away from me. This is information vital to be able to perform my job well. Also I am not given the same tools as the other members of the "team." It's not just me. There is another contractor on the "team" that is treated similarly. We just had a redesign and neither I nor he knew when it was going to launch yet we were held responsible for maintaining the site through this transition!

> Finally I've had it! I have pushed back. My boss is in trouble for her job. She has a new boss. My boss does not like it that I make suggestions, etc.! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY JOB AS A CONSULTANT!

> I got my contracting firm in negociations with these people. Today is a flashpoint. I might see what is supposed to happen today. I've done all I can do.

> The thing is that the medication has kept me balanced throughout all of this garbage. (Celexa 40mg, Wellbutrin SR 200mg)

> Last night I could not sleep! I had sooooo much anxiety. Today I've been anxious all morning. It's terrible. The thing is I am not certain that this is a panic attack or "normal" anxiety related to the job and the situation that might be appropriate.
