This happened to me too many times, sleepygirl. I kept down-sizing my jobs, thinking that it was work stress or too much responsibility, or *something* I could get control of.
Finally I accepted that my anxiety and depression had the upper hand and I asked to be released from employment. that was last March, and it has been a tough slog since.
In the past month and a half I feel that some real healing has started to happen... I know that I could not have done any of this if I'd tried to continue to work. There just wasn't enough of me to keep all the balls in the air. it didn't seem to matter what med I took, or how many walks around the building I made, or timeouts in the bathroom while I sobbed and tried to get myself together. Nothing helped.
that's my story, anyway. I can really relate to falling apart at work. Any possibility that you can take some time off for yourself to recuperate?take care - ClearSkies
