Reply #13: That's a perceptive take on the OP

[Droopy]

I should have thought of that because I post in the mental health forum, too. :)

I've had bad jobs, too, but I only took so much of it until I realized it was time for a change. But there is something to be said for having a decent pay check and health insurance, especially in the economy that we are experiencing now.

I think the best thing the OP could do is hold on to her/his job right now while actively looking for something more accomodating. Don't move on unless you are moving up.
