try getting books out of the library on Cognitive behavioural Therapy. It is an area that has really helped me along with the books 'Learned Optimism' and 'Authentic Happinness' - both by Martin Seligman.
There is a site called marriagebuilders.com that a lot of people on here refer to. I haven't been on there but it may be worth a look.
There are also some other good books such as 'Just Good Friends' and the '5 Languages of Love'.
Morgan on her thread also talked about a book called 'Crucial Conversations' that she thought was very good. If you read the blurb on amazon about it you will see that it covers lots of different situations - business / career and relationship areas.
I would think your library would have most of those in.
I am sorry that you can see such a lean period ahead of you. Could you not try other areas of work for just a temporary time? In the run up to Christmas the retail sector normally has lots of positions going.
You take care and focus on that PMA
