You succinctly captured the hell I've been through since November.
After declining two low-paying but sanity-sustaining offers since leaving a job in the investment management industry where I was absolutely destroyed by an alpha female neurotic boss, I am now losing my mind, struggling with depression and really starting to question myself. It's not a good feeling. I just need someone to give me a chance before I sell my house, pack it up and move back in with my parents at the age of 31. |

There are a few things I've learned over the years. The main thing is that when you're at a job and find you need to seek counseling and/or get medication just to keep GOING to your job, you need to get the hell out and find something else. It's not worth your sanity. Plus, once you do all that anyway, think how much more hurt you will feel once your boss lays you off or fires you anyway because of what they believe to be poor job performance. Definitely get out.
