I'm somehow getting over it, trying. Haven't touched booze during weekdays and sundays for the past 2 weeks. My heart goes out to you. I know you're strong, stay that way.

Maybe the reason is that one day you really might run out and not be able to get off it on your own terms.
that's a pretty good reason.
You're taking time off work in a few weeks right? Do it - and don't look back. Easier said than done. Dump them all, block your source from contacting you and do it for your son. He'll respect you so much when he finds out what you've been able to do!i keep making excuses an dim running out of them.
i just need to stop.

Trust me. Once it's over, you will feel so much better about everything.
You just need to say "I've had enough".
There was a beer in the fridge when I said enough. My father was shocked when he realized I haven't touched it for a week.
I'm sure if he was a pussy he'd start crying, but instead we played ball with the decapitated head of one of our enemies, because we're man.

So today I was preparing my resignation letter. Giving my company my two weeks notice so I can start focussing on myself...
Only two people hold the position I currently have at my company.
The other girl (let's call her Babs) is who walked me through software training when I first started...
She's a bit unhinged since her wife left her for another woman, they have only been married for eight months.
Anyways the president of the company called me today, and told me Babs has been hospitalized since yesterday for an apparent suicide attempt... My boss told me that for the next little while my workload is going to get heavy and to please be patient and for all of us to work together through this rough time!!!
REALLY BABS?????
So what do I do? Do I help out my company who in all honesty has been good to me, or do I worry about myself and leave them during such a horrible time...
We have no idea how long Babs is going to be off work or if she's ever coming back...
Why does Satan always like to fuck with my flex?

When it comes to work place decisions, one should always look out for themself first and foremost.

You don't burn bridges by simply looking g out for yourself. It's not your fault they are in a bind right now.Agreed
But I worry about burning bridges and what not
You can just move on while being sympathetic.
You have to do what's best for your health and all (Kiko, papi, etc) no matter how unfortunate the timing.Agreed
But I worry about burning bridges and what not
I'm sorry about your coworker's situation, that is so jarring. When someone you know makes that decision.

It's fine to feel bad. You don't want to be the next one in a hospital bed due to a bad decision.
you looking out for you is a good thing.
Send boobs pics. Boobs pics make everything OK.
I think that with anxiety, comes the part where we get overly concerned with things that don't truly concern us & make some decisions based on emotions. In the end, if you lay this out with only logic, you will see that the best decision is for you to focus on yourself. These people will not matter even a few months from now & Babs has her own shit to deal with.
If you're worried that much about burning bridges, don't. You really only need a good reference from a person in a more senior role than you. If your boss is gonna be a dick, then he won't be your reference. Think who could take his place for a reference.
On my first job, shit got hard. Everyone in the company got fired but me. Everybody told me to get out of there ASAP and find another job.
I wasn't paid for 5 months. My girlfriend was mad, I couldn't even afford a ring to propose.
But no, I was loyal so I stayed.
And this son of a bitch, fires me after 6 months even though I was loyal to the end. And to make it worse, he tells me I wouldn't make a programmer because I was shit.
3 months after this, I join the army with a half broken relationship because of the events that set off after I got fired, but we're getting married when I'm back.
She lies, cheats on me during my service and I almost shoot myself in the head during guard duty.
You get what I'm trying to say don't you? That's what loyalty gets you in the job market.
You are the most important person in your life. If you don't take care of yourself, you're no good to your kid either, your job, CEO, anyone at all.

Since my 3rd day on the job she was breaking down like ALL THE TIME about her marriage ending etc. Like inconsolable fits where she has to be taken to the ladies room to be calmed down.
Juicy Backstory:
Lesbian couple got married last October. "Babs" and "Pat" dated 7 years before they tied the knot last October.
They had a wedding planner who helped them put it all together and ultimately they all became close friends ...
Babs and Pat both agreed that wedding planner was hot.
So ...
In the spring Babs suggested to Pat that perhaps HWP (hot wedding planner) join them in the boudoir for some scissors sister action
Pat hesitated at first but finally agreed and the scissors sister threesome started ..
But then her (Pat) worst nightmare became a reality (this is CEOs fear too)
HWP and Pat started to have a secret thing going ... And 3 months later, Pat FULLY left Babs for HWP.
So babs got dumped for her wedding planner!
Babs is destroyed, so destroyed that she tries to take her life yesterday....
So while Pat and HWP are scissoring away into the sunset, Babs is being held on an involuntarily psychiatric hold.
Love bites
