So, with Hubby not working and changing his focus to his dream job which will alter our lifestyle. I've realized over the past few months that my income is what will bring in the money and provide the security for us over our lives.  This has lead to an ever increasing anxiety level.  Combine this with the never-ending stream of news stories of women being the new-breadwinners in this economy when men are losing 75% of the jobs and it is enough to bring me to tears.

You think this would make me better at my job, but it doesn't.  The focus is almost manic.  I am messing up more that I have since I was a newbie and I am so ashamed  of myself.  However that just adds to the anxiety level.  It is a never ending cycle it seems. Help!  I need a life preserver.  Or another glass of wine.  The stress of holding it all together is killing me right now.
