My wife walked out of a job interview for Polak's Fruital Works in Middletown, NY. It always smelled of something, from roses to pepperoni. She terminated the interview with Bernie Polak telling him the smell was making her sick and she couldn't work there. She said it was a super sweet smell, but if it had been pepperoni things might have gone differently.

I changed careers and started playing music. I felt better over night.

Yes, I have one right now. I am looking for another job. The thing that's bad is that I love what I do, but the stress that is involved is killing me.

I had a few of those...I looked for and found other jobs..

I did have some of that, back in my working days. My children and pthet family members, have various degrees of it now. It would be helpful to find something outside work, that is light and fun, if possible! And if you are not doing so...keep a journal, because you get your concerns out of yourself and can see them, from a different angle. Meantime, be on the alert for work that would be more in keeping with who you are. Keep things simple for yourself, as you want some of your energy to do things that you enjoy. Eat more fruits and vegetables, than meat and make sure they are foods you like. I wish you luck, and there is hope, and don't worry about what you don't know...most all of us, once didn't know something. But, all of us can learn enough...

Sometimes someone comes into our e.r. with necrosis or maggots and I throw up. I just try to get my job done and then break down later
