oh Candy, I hope we are not nut jobs hon. as for your vacation, good deal. I was non-functional, depressed and perhaps a little psychotic at the worst of my latest depression before I took time from work. I took a leave of absence which I am allowed to do via the family leave act. I needed it and my work place was very supportive. Do what you need to hon. A new job, short term disability, whatever. The job is only a fraction of your life. Good luck. I AM NOT A NUT JOB AND I DOUBT YOU ARE EITHER
