Thank you for sharing that. I've nearly been in over my head with work lately, but it somehow hasn't quite driven me to the point of collapse. But then you add to that the fact that I am personally being sabotaged and hurt to my very core by a few uncaring individuals, and you get one very upset, despairing Ellmyruh.
