Work became my biggest stressor too, so I had to go on disability. Is that an option for you at all? If you want me to post details, I will be happy too. I doubt I'll ever be able to work again, but that's okay- I do charitable work when I'm able, and I get a great deal of comfort from my children. I still remember how relieved I was when I received notice from SSD that I was approved, I felt like I could breathe. As far as SI, mine had to come out of the closet because of the severity, when it wasn't so bad I kept it secret from everyone except my therapist and shrink. I virtually had a book of excuses :-). Please take care of yourself first- I'm turning your advice back on you- and go slowly in therapy (I probably lost 6 months of progress- but my therapist understands). What do you think angers your family? Don't they want you well? Sometimes we turn the people who are closest to us feelings upside down, I know I did with my husband, and didn't truly understand his commitment until we went to therapy. Is that something you can do? Take care of yourself, judy
