brigitte zimmer said in part: My doctor says it's time to give up my job because it is too stressful and I know that but it is still hard. I can't bring myself to do it and so another week has gone by. I think that as long as I'm working I can pretend I'm not really sick but when I give up my job it (the P.D.) will be so real. ----------------------- Is there any possibility of you working parttime? I find that working only 1/2 day rather than all day keeps me on the job but is not as stressful as full days. Actually, I work only two mornings a week and find that is best for me. When I tried adding teaching a class in addition to the two 1/2 days spring semester, I found the extra stress made my meds not as long lasting. It might be worth checking with your supervisor about fewer hours on the job. Jeanette Fuhr 49/47/44?
