Starting Over, is there any way to take a short (preferably paid) medical leave of absence from your job, say for a week (two would be better), just to catch your breath and recoup your equilibrium a bit? Sounds like you're burned out and need some downtime to just breathe.

I'll be keeping you in heart-prayer. In the meantime, try to still your heart and hectic mind and just breathe...this too shall pass...all things work together for good...God has not abandoned you...there are silver linings somewherein all this mess...those are the kind of mantras that have gotten me through some of those dark crawl-back-to-bed mornings. Whatever you do, keep breathing, and be gentle with yourself. You've been through too much to worry about the rest of your life right this moment...the road will come clear when it's time. Be gentle with yourself while you're healing.
