Does anyone have tips for surviving a terrible boss? I’m super depressed and doing my best but my boss basically hates everything I do. This is despite me having a fruitful 25-year career before this job. Even when her criticisms are correct, she doesn’t give particularly helpful direction. I feel ill whenever I see a message come in from her. I’m also in therapy and actively seeking a new job but the market is terrible. I would probably quit if I didn’t have two young kids depending on me. Ugh!

I’ve been there. I prayed through a lot of my pain. I also fantasized about the way I’d tell her, “I quit!” I got laid off before that happened unfortunately, but because I was actively looking, I landed a much better job before I got my first unemployment check.

So I had been working as medical interpreter up to the early part of this year. Today, during an interview, the Director with whom I was interviewing genuinely urged me to consider pursuing a career as a PA or even attempt to go to medical school. I had considered it in passing before but today was about the third or fourth time that someone had earnestly nudged me in that direction. Has anyone here made such a career pivot before? I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
