Early last year, I got a new job working in my field of graphic design. It’s been a good job, one that I’ve enjoyed for the most part, and I’ve met some really great people. I had a bit of a breakdown last summer where we were understaffed and I made the decision to leave, thinking that would help my stress levels.

Then I had a 3 day reprieve, and yesterday the headache started again. Yesterday was one of the worst days I’ve had so far.
