I think I am close to having a nervous breakdown

[TZ]

These last six months have just been truly horrendous. Now I have work issues:

I'm a mess right now, I can't sleep I'm crying..I think I have to take work off tomorrow. I can't possibly work in this state.
I need to get hired permanently and get health insurance so I can go back on meds. And yet this job is probably not healthy for me, being a high pressure job. Its a catch 22. I feel terribly trapped.
I want to pull the blanket over my head and let the rest of the world just go to hell.

1. I am sorry for your pain. I hope taking a sick day will get you some needed rest.

I hope you can hang on long enough to get hired on permanently, in spite of the stressful job. That is bound to give you some breathing room.

Some advice a co-worker gave me about others not pulling their weight: Document everything. Keep a diary. Your requests for lab work, etc. so you have something to show if someone comes asking why things aren't getting done.

I'm sending you warm thoughts. I hope you can relax and get some rest.

:hug: Been there, done that. What a horrible feeling. Here's hoping this past week was kinder to you.

3. I'm sorry you're going through this

I actually took today off feeling the very same way. I was close to vomiting - that's how upset I was. :hug: :loveya:
