> After a nice hiatus from work where I felt so good I didn't even need to post here anymore, I was forced to go back. I was guilted into it by society and unable to think of a good sociopathic scheme to stay financially afloat (any ideas?) I am already feeling robbed, and stressed again. I just told a friend "After I'm done doing what I have to do, and am supposed to do, I can't even rememebr what I wanted to do." I have nothing but carbohydrate cravings and more cigarette butts (to counter the stress/winter induced hunger) to show for my toils. I'm thinking maybe I should lead a very simple life that shelters me from any kind of stress. Otherwise I might as well be dead. I've no energy left for conversation and joke after working all day. I feel drained and exploited. Maybe my temperament doesn't do so well with high stress jobs like sales and marketing. Sell! Sell! Sell! I'd rather Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!

Scott, your job evidently is contributing to your problems. Looking around for something else will help you feel better. My job was very stressful for the last three years (fortunately, some things have changed for the better). I was seriously considering a job driving a gravel truck (as long as it had a good stereo). I know your energy level is pretty low because of the MENTAL drain of your current job. You might look for a laboring position in construction or something like that. Do your right-brain a favor-I found that hands-on stuff "unkinks" my left-brain or something like that. My pdoc told me that the positive changes at work helped my Effexobutrin to work better.
