JJ, very glad you are taking care of yourself. Sounds like a very toxic workplace, not to mention, abusive. I have left places for similar sorts of reasons but not full-time jobs. When I was dubbed "Dead File Queen" at an engineering firm, you can guess where my "office" was :-) The owner there once had me saving paperclips off of folders we were throwing out in preparation for moving because my time was cheaper than the paperclips in a sense.

Hope you have some breakthroughs and good leads after you get some good R&R I've read a little Carolyn Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit I think the book was.
