I was on antidepressants, was stressed all the time, made my kids depressed and upset because I couldn't get out from under the MM cloud. Quit and got a job in a clinic, and it was like a 10-ton weight was lifted IMMEDIATELY. Regular hours and regular paycheck was such a relief. Really felt like had PTSD for several months after because I still felt the pressure to crank out the lines (even though the new job had no quota) and was afraid I'd get ripped for every little error (which I didn't at all), and then I'd come home at 5 PM and think "now what?" I'd become so used to spending 12 hours at the computer to barely make my line count, I didn't know what to do with my evening hours. Best decision ever.
