I am quitting my job , and I don't have one to go to.
It's truly overwhelming there. If I stay, I'll have a breakdown.

I know that part of why I can't handle the stress is because of my divorce. It's hard for me to admit that I'm not strong enough to handle everything that comes my way.

I also feel like a loser because I may need help from family if I don't find a job fairly quickly.

I am sending you a hug, it is okay. A divorce is not a little thing, it is a great big huge thing. If you didn't feel stress something would be wrong with you. Give yourself time, if you need your family it okay. Trust me on that I am a mom and I am always here to help my kids get back on their feet.

maybe quitting is extreme, how about a disabilty leave?

I have been useless at my job for months. I know how it feels to go to work and try to get something done and it's almost impossible to concentrate for more than 5 minutes. I finally went and talked to my boss about it and he was completely understanding about my situation. I don't know what kind of work you do but if you like your job you should talk to your boss about it. He/she might be like mine and give you a "don't worry about this place, take care of your family right now" pass

I know it's scary, but try to think of it as a new adventure. If this job causes you stress, it is time for something better.

All the stress does affect work, but if it is too much, it's too much. There is something better just around the corner. I can't wait to hear what you find!

Here's a hug. Take care.

It can be very overwhelming to not have a job and try to pay bills also, believe me! That BillAtlantic guy is right, if you can get it.
If you need hope, I found a new job very quickly, at a higher position and a 13% pay increase, so I wish you the best of luck!

I did have a conversation with my boss and hers last week.
They promised help and instead I got more demands.
I've really gone round and round with this.
I need to leave this company.
I do have some leads on work, some private events that I won't be able to do if I stay where I am.
I'm a chef at an assisted living center. I teach cooking classes and cater on the side.

I know just how you feel. I have been running a business full steam since our separation. Concentration is sometimes impossible but because I'm the boss everything falls on me. Oh boy, brighter days must be ahead. Could you attempt a leave of absence?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
