Okay, I have vented, now I just need you all to tell me I am doing the right thing by walking away from the work force and focusing on family and health. Just give me your input, I could use a friend or two...right now. Thanks all my partners in pain!!!!

You are doing the
right thing.
I would never stand for some snot nosed punk to tell me that I'd been passed over cause I didn't go to bowling, or to after work gatherings.
Your health
(mental and physical) is most important.
You'll never get into a peaceful state of mind with all that
stress.
Stress is a
#1 factor in exacerbating PN.
Try to get your neuro to sign off on disability,
and fight with SSI and SSDI.
Get out of that work environment !!
You are
still young and there are
many opportunities for someone with drive, to work
at home, or even start your own marketing business on the internet.
You said:
"......the credit union I work for as the collector ....."
Don't you know that in this
bad economy, that your profession is
recession proof!
Your skills are
needed, if you are
good at it.
You can find work elsewhere, if need be.
A place that knows
up-front that you are theirs
8 hrs a day and the rest of the time .....
you aren't !
PN does not have to be an
end-all, unless you become totally incapacitated by it.
The
meds keep me going too.
Without themI'd be a
cripple.
But
with them, I'm 64, self employed
(30 yrs), and have a retail shop and do in-home, road-service work.
Don't take any crap from a young punk that's so hyped up about 'company' and 'interaction' on your own time.
There's a time for work and a time for personal requirements.
They should never cross the line.
Any employer who requires that, is full of crap.
Get out of there. It isn't worth it.
