This does seem to be at or near the root. This much pressure being put on the author is likely what is throwing them off.
But.
Assuming she lives in the US (seems safe based off of her work history)... your job kind of IS your life.
No job means no health insurance. No health insurance means one mistake (yourself or dependents) and it could be over. Once it's over, unless you have a personal safety net to catch you, you're just... fucked. You're fucked.
That's a lot of pressure, and it's so dumb that we couple something as crucial as healthcare to our jobs. Some corporate fat cats are laughing in their graves that they pulled this off.
I'm sorry author. I hope things pan out for you and your family.
