What is the tipping point where you have said you have had enough and quit your job? When should you stop white knuckling it? I am getting so much pressure from both sides. I don’t know what to do. I have thought about part time as a middle ground but I don’t know if the job will allow it.

Ugh. I’ve been in your shoes. Is it possible to find anything else at all? If you could find something on the side while you work part time and look for something else it might spare your sanity.

I would have to get a job out of my field. It is a small field and it took me 3 years to find my current job and I just started in February. I have been thinking about working at Target. I have been juggling the idea of SSDI but I don’t know if I would qualify. My treatment team and others have told me it might be a long road but I should qualify but lawyers I have talked to say no way. It just scares me to leave a good job for so much uncertainty. I just have to make it to 50 and then I can retire. Problem is I am only 41.

For myself, I have learned that, in important life matters, if I find that I am lying in bed, awake, angry about one of these things, that it is time for change. Anything that keeps me awake is by definition an official problem.

Exactly this. I have been lying awake, angry about some of these things lately. It is an official problem to me
