It is possible...just like we all experience the symptoms differently...we will experience the effect at work differently...

I've been in the same industry about 17 years...although when you average it out...it is about 2 1/2 years per company

It's tough...no one else can understand the struggle and pain we go through to come to work everyday...the ups and downs...ugh

I do enjoy what I'm doing and being salaried has its advantages on an up/down/mixed day...I would imagine I wouldn't do so well if I punched a clock...as I got up late this morning as I was "up" working until 3 a.m. on a project...

I hope that gives you some comfort and by the way welcome to PC...If you can provide more details either in the thread or by PM...I may be able to be more helpful...I think...I am in a position of "senior" authority and over the years hired/terminated people...might be able to help with resumes, interviewing, taking criticism...it might help change direction.
