...yourself and don't worry about anyone else at this point. If you feel you need to just up and walk off that job, without a notice then do so.
You are right, most people when they hire want you to start right away, depending on the job you get, some of them may have someone in the position you are taking, that is also on a two week notice. You Know Lisa, God has a way of working things out. But we can't give up on Him.
I too am in a very stressful job hun. My new husband and I live in and care for my ex-mother-on-law who has alzeimer's. She is very hard to deal with right now. She talks all day long, just rattles mostly about the same old thing. From the time she gets up in the morning from the time she goes to bed, she NEVER shuts up. You can't even watch tv or anything for her mouth.
She's at a point now she won't even let me give her a bath. I tried to put her in the bath tub day before yesterday and ended up getting shoved around a bit. Then yesterday morning I went into her room to get her and found her in a world of "poop". I had pulled off her nasty clothes and had washed her, after 10 minutes of chasing her around the room to get her to be still. When I was putting on her pants...she began to pound me in the head with her fist, repeatedly. Robert was still in the bed and heard us, and got up.
I immediately called her son, my ex, and told him what she had just done to me. Now they are fixing to put her in the nursing home. The sad part is this... When I was married to her son, she and I were like best friends, we talked every day and went places together and were pretty close. She made us promise that she would never have to go to the nursing home. I made that promise to her, that as long as I was living she would not have to go. I can deal with her not eating and refusing to get in the tub, and be
stubborn about getting her clothes on, and talking all day long, but there is one place that I draw the line and will not put up with, and that is being beat on. I am so sad that she is having to go be locked away, but this is not my responsibility, and after having had breast cancer I need to take much better care of myself,
so that is what I am going to do. We got to find jobs, and I am depending on God to lead us to something right away. Please keep this in your prayers, Lisa.
Back to your situation, do what is right for Lisa for a change. You might consider some Tylenol PM for some sleep at night. It has a mild sedative in it that only helps you to relax a bit so you can fall asleep at night. We only live and go through this world one time, and we don't get a second chance to go back and do it over. So get out of that job if it is stressing you out, and making you feel like separating yourself from the world. You are too smart a person for that girl, now come on. I know you will do the right thing, for yourself.
You're always in my prayers hun, love you much.
