Thanks for these replies. I'm now on a medical leave of absence, and I've applied for employment insurance benefits. In the mean time, I will keep searching for a new job - one that won't interfere with my schooling. When I let myself think about it all, I get very overwhelmed. Just now I was sitting here making a grocery list, and thinking "Can I afford my food??" The real answer is no, I can't - I have to use a credit card - but I have to eat. So.. there is my predicament at this time.

Thanks for your prayers and support. It means a lot to me.
