Dinah,
I'm sorry work is so hard. I understand the need to check out - to scream, "not ONE more thing -- is anyone listening? Not one more!!"
I don't know about your state, but here, we have laws that protect folks from work-related nervous break downs. If the stress is too great, you can get worker's comp and keep your medical benefits. It wouldn't be that hard to prove at this point.
Try to set limits for yourself. Turn off the phone. Promise only one project/client at a time. And stop working at a reasonable hour even when you aren't done.
You'll get through this. I wish I knew how to help more. I feel so hypocritical telling you that suicide isn't the answer, but you made a promise you must keep, remember?
