I have sad also. Its awful. All I can tell you is if you give into
it about your job now you will probablly give into it for the rest
of your life. The truth is your probablly good atyour job your just
letting your prolem control you. Look at it this way the worst
thing that could happen is that you get fired and I will bet if that
did happen that you would get through it. So stay strong, relax and
don't give in.--- In
