I have been right where you are, my friend. I also have severe depression that is largely caused by stress at work for 17 years. Actually, I went a step further than you. I walked in one Monday morning, cut up my company credit cards, handed in my keys and quit. I just had enough. My job was not in any danger but the hours and expectations due to downsizing/layoffs were just rediculous. Also, I was being asked to run my store as well as another store that was 85 miles away. No compensation for the extra store, just "be happy you have a job". Of course the cutbacks and layoffs didn't effect the CEOs 7 million dollar bonus. I'm doing much better now. It took me a couple of years. I had to find the right meds for me and change careers but I finally got back to normal. Good Luck, cajun
