Did you talk to your sponsor about the predicament? Perhaps he would have some better insight if you just told him eveythng about the D. I would even include the DB aspect as it is pretty important to you.
From my perspective, just getting it done and done quickly would be a priority. No sense prolonging the painful inevitiable.
Not sure what the pink clould is but it sounds like no fun! Best of luck and hang in there, buddy.
