[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 77641, member: 3704"] I was wondering if you couldn't take FMLA leave. I'm pretty sure that is mandated for businesses that have a threshold number of employees. I believe you are allowed up to 6 weeks, and the employer can opt to provide more. It's just a thought... Having said that, I left an incredibly stressful job 6 years ago. It was the best choice that I ever made in my life. My problems were with my managers, and I had lost my ability to sleep through the night. I slept like a baby after I left! Problem solved. And the job that I have now? I love it, it's the job I've been seeking for many years! I know that you have incredible transferable job skills and that there are many other jobs that you could perform. Still, you might just want to take some time off and give yourself a little while to make this big decision. Sometimes time away can give a new perspective. I agree with you about group therapy, I just find it to be depressing. Could you just go off on your own and get your own therapist? I've done it, and it is worth every penny. A good therapist will set goals with you and work quickly toward them - they won't keep you coming to make the process more expensive - particularly if they know that you are "on your own dime". I'll be thinking of you and your new start. Good luck to you in your journey. [/QUOTE]
