Perhaps there are some ways for you to mitigate the stress at your present job? For example, are there things that you can do to strike a better work/life balance...for instance, exercise after or before work; compartmentalize (work when you're at work only). etc.
Alas, that is the reason I am hesitant. I only want to move forward, not regress. It is a hard decision to make. I have considered withdrawing my small 401k that I have saved, as it's not enough to retire on but could provide a break for me for a bit. Any thoughts on that? My husband does not want me to. But it is my money...
