Even the thought of returning to work makes me have a minor panic attack, including chest pains and some difficulty breathing. I was subjected to bullying at work, particularly from a supervisor. There's a very strong culture of bullying there. I don't have to return to work for another few months. But it makes me feel like I'm trapped, with no way out. I can't find another job because there aren't any other jobs in my hometown that pay well enough.

I'm writing more again, though. I keep hoping my earnings from writing will take off, and it keeps not happening. I've only made about $400 each of the past two months, not even 1/4 of what I need to live. Oh well.
