What fantasy land do you live in? Or do you just not pay your bills?

It's truly awful to keep going somewhere that's tormenting you. If you don't have to go back you don't. What sort of fantasy do you live in that you haven't experienced a truly awful work situation?

The WORST thing is when this STRESS manifests itself physically. It physically manifests in my body in horrible ways when I am stuck with a long term horrible boss. Then you have these hiring people who look at you like shit when you don't have a job and are actively looking for one. Mine manifested itself with irregular periods, gray hairs, and tingling all over my body.

Thanks, everyone, for the support. It's unfortunate that I'm not alone, but it's also comforting to know I'm not the only one. I'll keep pressing on and networking. Sad story, a friend recommended me for a job I'm highly qualified for at her company and I was rejected! That was a huge downer to my already sad week, but I am just going to keep on.

Don't worry about paying your mortgage.

Don't worry about losing your home.

Don't worry about feeding your family.
