Unsure if I should cut my losses or press on

I’m working with a fledgling theatre company
Co writing but my co is a lot more capable.
If I continue I’ll have to take a back seat, I think

Advice needed:

At what point should " No alternative but to drop it" happen?

I’ve been paranoid that they want me out, then came round and took a higher dose of meds which is sedating me but its holding me again

I do think this company will stay together
I don’t know how to contribute sometimes… My writing is sporadic and my Aspergers makes the social side even more impossible
Don’t know how to read them, and most of them are 18 yrs younger.

I feel I’ve made a fool of myself already… Trying too hard to press my ideas when they have already been rejected.

I’m not blessed with quick turnaround on demand script writing skills and I’m pretty sedated / exhausted

It only goes on till Christmas when the show is the week before

What symptoms should I look out for? That I should stop ?

I’ve had a bit of visual distortion, some voices came back, and I’m frowning a lot more, and I had some stress tingles in my arms

if not…exit.
life is to short to be unhappy.

The writing credit isn’t as important as the writing experience. Everyone takes a lump or two in the writing biz. Or five or six (voice of experience, here). If your ego can take it and it won’t make you sick, I’d say keep going. People who don’t quit are valued when the next production comes around.

Are you enjoying it at all? At what point to the negatives outweigh the positives? Christmas is not that far away. Unless you are in extreme suffering I’d stay with it. You might feel a sense of accomplishment if the enemies in your head will allow it …lol.
