I've also recently discovered something at my local Walmart called "Nerve Tonic," it's one of those natural remedy things. I pop one of them and relaxation hits me soon after. Mixed with chamomile tea and I'm in heaven.
I wish I could kill the stress, but it's 99.997% work induced (I have two supervisors that literally love to make my life a living hell) it makes me miserable and not want to go to work. But I need to go to work to get paid or the recession will kick my ass and I'll be living on the streets and then my poor kitties will have to go into shelter. Lately, I've started daydreaming about what I plan on doing when the recession finally goes byebye *Hint - I'm getting the hell out of dodge, screw south florida, it's brought me nothing but drama*
But, lately, i've been finding myself getting jammed up for stupid stuff and they make mountains out of molehills. If they end up putting paper in my file, it's going to give me all sorts of trouble when I try to get a new job to pay my new bills.
Urk. It's a catch22. Anyone need a new government slave?

I'm so sorry, although I know that doesn't help much.
I retired just last month, but I worked for the federal goverment for 35 years straight, so yes, I know where you're coming from. When I started in this last job I was in, I was absolutely miserable and stressed beyond belief for several months because I felt like such an outcast in there. (Long story.) It did get better, though, and once I got a new supervisor in there I actually enjoyed it most of the time. Maybe there will be some kind of personnel turnover where you are -- I hope so. Meanwhile, go pet your kitty.
