If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place
Time

My workplace is using the Star Wars blu rays to showcase their 4k TV's at the moment.  In the words of suburban teenage girls, I just can't even.  I pointed out the flaws of this plan to them, but they said it was more for the spirit of the new star wars movie coming out soon than to show off the TV. I proceeded to punish them by quoting every line perfectly as they came up until I had to be elsewhere.

Oh well, at least the only ones they are showing is ANH and ESB.  No prequels, and I haven't even seen them play ROTJ yet.

The Place to Go for Emotional Support

Once again, I really don't want to be separated from the people in my real life that care about me right now. I also don't want to risk being separated from them forever (or at least not getting to see them on a regular basis anymore) by taking off so early after being promoted and I would really be screwing them if I did. I really don't know what's so hard to understand about that, and I'm not going to explain it again. But I really do appreciate the kind words, everybody.

I can't afford counseling, at least not now.  Maybe when my raises and benefits all fully kick in (don't ask me why it's on a time table)  And actually I'm part of management now, it would be extremely inconvenient for anybody to go a step higher than me and I really don't see them doing that, because they really need me in that place.  (not being egotistically, they really truly do).  I am confident that nobody will go over my head and do something like that.  I could see them possibly getting together and asking me to go, but I really don't see them *making* me.  For one reason, they aren't stupid.  They need me and they know I need them, they aren't going to do something that would force me to be cut off from them.  I may indeed go to rehab at some point, but not so soon after getting promoted into management.

I agree with Warbler. However, since you are not planning on listening at present, please, if you feel yourself starting to slip into suicidal thinking, immediately go to the hospital. If you were injured in an accident, you wouldn't think twice about spending a few days in recovery. Suicidality is no less an emergency than a critical injury, and I'm sure your job would understand. We'll never get that cut of ROTJ if you don't get help ;) 

 Okay, what you guys are saying about me taking time off of work makes sense.  It really does.  But something you are failing to include in your calculations (not a criticism or anything, really I do appreciate the thoughts) is that I need my coworkers.  They are my best friends, they are my family.  They care about me on a personal level that goes beyond work.  It's not just the one lady I was talking about earlier, I'm close to a number of them as well.  Many of them know about my substance problems, many of them know about my depression problems, a few even know about both.  Only one (the lady) knows about my suicide attempt, and suffice it to say she is not happy about it.  (Not that she punishes me or tried to make me feel bad about it) She ended up in tears and asking me why I didn't call her.  I need people like that in my life, if I lose this job I lose my family.  (Because the part that is my family isn't the part that would be making the decision to fire me so I can't depend on them to help me get time off)
