I'm at risk of losing everything because my dependance on it... Now that I am there, it doesn't surprise me people do things that are not rational. I'm freaking out & stressed to the max.

Turn a negative into a positive. Before you say, "Yeah, right!" really think about it. Every time something bad has happened to me, I've asked myself how I could turn it into an opportunity for something better, and it's worked every time. In 6 months you will look back and say, "I'm glad I lost that job, because if that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have found this one, and I'm not only making MORE money, but I'm much happier." Grieve briefly for what you are losing, and then start looking for the opportunity that surely exists. You are better than one job!
