Positively new thread - how do you deal with this?

[RBinBR]

PL, I'm so sorry to see you so down about your sitch. You've gotten no measurable progress in a while, and I know how tough that can be. The good news is that you have been improving yourself during the meantime.

I'll advise what I always tell people in your position -- take a break. Figure out a way to avoid calling him about business (can you just email him) and give yourself a break for a week or two with no phone or personal contact. It will help you detach, and it will give you some peace from which you can make some decisions. It might also make him curious, so don't tell him that you're taking a break -- just do it.
