First I would talk to your doctor about it let him know whats going on, if he insists you do not go back to work I would call the labor board in you state, and explain to them what is going on, they will advise you what to do from there, many times the labor board will take care of the matter for you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
