Hi, Walksinair! Looooong story short...

When I was last employed, I think I made some kind of semi-conscious decision (or, was it a non-decision?) to just keep at it until the increasingly inevitable crash, and that despite the fact I was receiving treatment.

*** insert audio clip of ridiculous, over-the-top crash here ***

Yes, I crashed. Hard. (Not as hard as some others.)

Would I not have crashed and remained at least a minimally productive member of society had I quit? I don't know. Maybe I had lost the imagination to quit. It's all academic now.

I wonder if you are facing a roughly similar situation. Can you navigate your circumstances so that you don't crash?
