Used to be that I could handle nuclear levels of stress, at least outwardly. Stress has caused all kinds of crazy internal health problems for me over the last several years, but now, it's starting to affect me on a whole new level.
I likened the way I feel to a friend today to the nuclear meltdown happening in Japan. I can feel it coming. It's not only emotional, it's physical. My joints are aching and I feel anxious and uneasy. For all those people pushing your physical limits with stress, it's only a matter of time until you will start to feel the effects in other ways.
It's just not worth it. It never really was but I somehow convinced myself it was so. It's not. Not for a second. I can't figure out why I let people who have proven they have absolutely no sense make me feel inadequate. I'm pissed at myself for letting ignorant and ungrateful people make me feel insecure.
Don't do it! Life's too short to let stupid people make you feel bad about yourself. I am sure that'll be quoted for generations to come.

I totally agree! Still after getting sick it took a me a few years to say "Eff it" There's much more to life than doing a kick ass job and most people telling me it's not enough. Good on you that you're realizing it because it's not to late to get back your well being. I stepped away and I couldn't be happier. I can't imagine myself back in the office. Although Angie was the only one that made it fun and bearable for me :-)
Wow, two other wonderful, capable women singing my song!! The "biz" $$ is very seductive, but at what price? I felt like the hovering demons were after my soul and they can't have it!! This new found sense of peace and fulfillment is priceless Follow that big, beautiful heart of your Kristin...
