get to the doc's ASAP - scream and threaten if you have to - have them fill out the FMLA and you get a break to gain perspective, get better, etc.

do it. don't say anything to anyone. NO ONE.
Wow. I picked a bad day to bypass this thread for a few hours. I'm so sorry you're in this avalanche of shit. I see you have gotten some assistance (YAY!). I want to contribute this affirmation: You're not crazy, bad shit is being dumped on you. Also, HR is not your friend. They work for the company, they might dish out stuff you can find useful, but they're not there for you, they're their to manage the company's resources that happen to be people.

Fuck. Good luck.

You did the right thing, honey. First step is the biggest. You'll be okay now.

Being on the cardiac unit means you'll be hooked up to an ekg the entire time you're there-lots of wires to disconnect from, etc. but also you WILL get better care and now they have physical proof that the job is stressing you out. Did they mention what the 'abnormality' was? Typically it's Atrial fib for stress. also when one of the leads comes off they come into the room and snap it back on to you which happens a lot.

get all the help you can. tell them everything that's going on at work and how you're being treated, past history, let it rip. The more they know about the stress of your life (live alone, hateful job with loathsome people, ex homeless guy bf, family nonsupportive, etc. etc., the more they can help you. Your NOT complaining your giving them history. let them know how bad it has gotten; your thoughts; your urges to drive your car into a ditch just to get out of work....it's ok. They've heard it all before, believe me, and they KNOW you're not crazy.

Love and good wishes, Claudette

Yeah, Tril is right. Just spit it all out. Once all the cards are on the table it'll be much easier for them to assess what your needs are, and what sort of help you can get. Also spending time in hospital might give your family the wake up call they need?

I'm with those who say to just get out of the job and find something simpler. The stress is not worth it mate. Life isn't about putting up with shit. I don't really know what it is about, but I do know it's not about that.

It's great that you're getting some help. You'll be in my thoughts during this period. You're doing the right thing. xxx

My first thought about the EKG was also that the stress has driven your blood pressure right up, or caused another physical sign (like atrial fibrillation). And I'm right there with the other Dwellars who are saying give the medics ALL the history, every detail, everything we've seen here plus the stuff you even held back from US ! Please take this opportunity to get well. Rest. And quit that fucking job.
