Greg,
Laryngitis is usually caused by the common cold. The remedy is *lots* of sleep (on a regular schedule -- not weekend catch-ups), rest, and relaxation. As for the depression, stress reduction is probably number one.
You know the drill -- you have to watch out for yourself because no one else will. Tell your employer that you are ill and not getting better and that you *need* a rest and are cutting your hours back to 8 per day MAX, maybe less depending on how you feel.
I have had to do this in the past, and my managers have always grumbled; but when I recovered, they were happy to see my productivity rise.

>scary or terrifying, just vividly bizarre stuff.Funny -- When I was in the depths of my depressions, I would cease dreaming (and my quality of sleep worsened). It wasn't until meds, including ambien, that I started sleeping properly again and my dreams returned. I too have vivid dreams, and I can usually remember them well when I wake up now. As for bizarre, I don't think mine are any more bizarre than "normal", and I doubt yours are either; dreams are normally bizarre. :-)
Take care of yourself!
