Sounds like a good wake-up call. The only similar thing I can recall is when the Unabomber case hit, I thought if I let myself stay too depressed and socially isolated, that could be my future (well not the bombing part, but maybe the living alone in a tiny and remote hovel writing a manifesto that would sound crazy to everyone but me. actually a lot of my old journals sound crazy even to me!)
Don't be too hard on yourself though. If you don't like your job, it's no wonder your energy is drained, leaving little left over at the end of the day. And the medical insurance problem is a real issue for those of us with chronic illness under the U.S. healthcare system. How about giving yourself credit for staying in the job up til now, since it did meet some financial needs? Now it's time to look for more satisfaction.
Keep us posted.
