Thanks Fi!
I'm sure that it makes sense to go look for more work elsewhere. I'm just not up for it now. I have to be able to forgive myself for not feeling motivated on this front.
I really do have a positive attitude about all of this. I've been here long enough that if they really do let me go, I will be able to collect unemployment. Some time away from working would not kill me.
I also believe that I will be just fine where I am. I do think that they realize just how valuable I've been around here. I don't know this for sure. It's just a feeling.
I do believe that positive attitudes can manifest positive changes in life. Being positive is difficult while in the abyss of depression. With treatment I can finally attempt optimism so long as I do not listen to the "nay sayers."
Take Care,
