I was on my upward climb to the top at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Even as a QA/QC Chemist, I had it made; good pay, tons of benefits, a challenging and rewarding position, travel all over the U.S., and everywhere I'd go as a E.P.A. representative the contract corporations treated me like gold. After two years of success, a mixed state hit me and I lost complete control. I went to the two major newspapers and reported internal corruption within the agency. They couldn't fire me, so they put me in a back room cubical doing routine paperwork. I had no choice but to resign.

My tragic story doesn't end there, but you get the picture. This is a devastating illness.
